Information in this operation guide Information in this operation guide Read this operation guide to learn what this product can do for you, how to operate and maintain the print system and how to use it in a safe way. The guide begins with basic information on the print system parts, the concept workflow and an overview of useful functions (Chapter 2). In the next chapters you can find instructions that detail how to prepare, submit, plan and print jobs in (Chapter 3, 4 and 5).
Chapter 2 Explore the print system
What can this print system do for you? What can this print system do for you? The imagePRESS C800 Series is an easy-to-use multitasking print system that offers many useful functions. • There is one central control panel, the single point of control, which simplifies the print process. • The workflow concept places the operator at the control panel in a central position. The print operator can manage colors, jobs and schedules, and last-minute job changes from the control panel.
What output can you create What output can you create Media for your output Media catalog for media selection PRISMAsync controls the media definition centrally with the media catalogue. The controller's media-based workflow PRISMAsync results in less mistakes. PRISMAsync operating concept on page 28 (See ) When you prepare a job, you can select media from the media catalog.
Media for your output Types of media for the paper trays The paper trays of your print system can handle a variety of media types and sizes, including uncoated, offset coated, plain, recycled, thin, satinated, tabs, textured paper, digital coated media, preprinted media and offset coated media. You can use envelopes, tab paper and transparencies in most paper trays. For covers, insert sheets and separator sheets between sets, you can use the inserter.
Finishing for your output Finishing for your output If your print system has finishing options, you can select staple, punch, trim, booklet and book options in the printer driver, the PRISMA software, and the control panel. NOTE The control panel shows the finishing options that are available on your print system. Below you find an overview of the finishing options the print system supports.

Color reproduction for your output Color reproduction for your output PRISMAsync color reproduction The color management of PRISMAsync controls the reproduction of colors and handles the conversion of input colors (RGB, CMYK, spot colors) to printed colors on paper. PRISMAsync has two instruments for easy color management across the entire workflow, color presets and media families, so that the operator does not need to perform color management tasks on a job-by-job basis.
Color reproduction for your output Media Families A media family is a set of media that has comparable specifications, such as surface, color and substrate type. A media family defines the color output profiles for the media. Each media family has three different output profiles, for the halftone screens Normal, Fine, and Error-diffusion. When you have more than one halftone screen in a single job or page, PRISMAsync automatically applies the related output profiles for optimal color management in the job.
PRISMAsync operating concept PRISMAsync operating concept PRISMAsync makes print, copy and scan jobs intuitive and productive. This fully integrated controller supports the setup of the workflow, prepress and job routing. The following concepts support your way of working. • Task-based workflow The task-based workflow structures the tasks for the staff involved with the print system.
PRISMAsync operating concept Job preparation Job planning Printed jobs Waiting jobs DocBox Scheduled jobs Print production Finishing and delivery Printing Media loading [4] Job workflow for document printing mode NOTE See Transaction printing on page 87 for the workflow in the transaction printing mode. Staff roles and tasks The task-based workflow structures the tasks in the print environment. There are task splits between job preparation, job planning, and print production.
PRISMAsync operating concept The print operators can concentrate on the job planning and the print production. Therefore, the print operator does the following tasks: • Starts up the print system. • Prints the jobs and prepares copy and scan jobs. • Makes proof prints. • Performs last-minute job changes. • Makes sure that all consumables needed for the jobs are available during the day. • Carries out maintenance routines, such as a daily calibration procedure or a media registration.
PRISMAsync operating concept • The media in the media catalog store print quality attributes that the entire print system uses. Each time you select the media from the media catalog, the print system automatically applies the same media quality settings. • The control panel, the printer driver and the PRISMA software access the same media catalog. • You can use the media catalog for copy jobs. Define the media attributes with the Settings Editor.
Main hardware parts Main hardware parts The print system can be given different configurations to match various print environments. Your print system has basic hardware parts extended with optionals. In the table below you can find descriptions of the main parts. NOTE • This manual uses functional names for the print system parts.

Chapter 4 Plan the jobs
Set up your print production preferences Set up your print production preferences Automated workflows An automated workflow automatically links print settings to jobs. Every automated workflow represents a different virtual printer with its own specific properties.
Automated workflows You drop the printable files on a shortcut of the hotfolder. Do not use a hotfolder for files that already have a job ticket, to prevent the settings of the two sources causing a conflict. A hotfolder has a connection to an automated workflow, which defines the job settings. However, you can also apply job settings by the use of a hotfolder default ticket. If this happens, you can disable the automated workflow job settings. Create a hotfolder default ticket (default_ticket.
Automated workflows • Change the settings of the job. Be aware that when you change settings of a PDF/VT job, these settings are applicable to all records of the job. NOTE Page programming is not available for PDF/VT jobs.
Workflow profiles Workflow profiles A workflow profile determines the route of jobs when they arrive on the PRISMAsync controller. PRISMAsync provides several default workflow profiles to manage your work load on the control panel. Workflow profiles make it possible to plan your jobs in a flexible way. You select a workflow profile on the control panel and, if required, adjust the attributes of the workflow profile. Then, this custom workflow profile is completely fitted to your workflow.

Chapter 5 Print the jobs
Proofing Proofing Proof and test prints Avoid wasting time and money and do a check print before you start a print job with many sets. A check print can result in the decision to change job properties or to adjust image and color settings for one, or all, jobs. There are several methods to check the job definition: • Check the first set of a job. • Make a proof print of a job. • Set intermediate check prints. • Make a job ticket print.
Proof and test prints Intermediate check prints An intermediate check print is an automatic print sample of a job sheet. The intermediate check print arrives in the output tray that is close to the print module. Enable the intermediate check print setting in the System view of the control panel. In the Settings Editor you can define the number of sheets between two sample sheets.
Make a proof Make a proof When you make a proof, the print system prints one set of the job. A proof print does not affect the number of sets when you print the complete job. The proof function is available in the following locations: • List of waiting jobs • A DocBox When you select the [Proof] command, a copy of the job goes to the last position in the list of scheduled jobs. The original job remains in the list of waiting jobs or in the DocBox.

You can select this job from the list of scheduled jobs.
Remove printed output from the stacker/stapler Remove printed output from the stacker/stapler The output tray moves downwards during the print process to give space to the growing stack of output. The workflow profile determines to which output trays PRISMAsync printed output is sent. When an output tray has reached its limit, the printed output automatically goes to the next available tray. If all available output trays have reached their stacking limits, the printing process stops.
Remove printed output from the stacker/stapler IMPORTANT • Do not place objects onto the output trays of the stacker/stapler. This can damage the output trays. • Do not place objects under the paper trays of the stacker/stapler. This can damage the output trays. IMPORTANT For stapling with the professional stacker / stapler: • When the width of the media is small, the stapled sets can have uneven edges. • When stapled sets have coated covers, the staples can dirty the covers of sets on the output tray.
Remove printed output from the stacker/stapler IMPORTANT For punching with the standard stacker / stapler: • You cannot punch holes when the media weight is more than 256 g/m² / 94 lb cover. • The punch units do not support heavy, coated media (more than 221 g/m²), vellums, transparencies, prepunched paper, labels, and envelopes. NOTE Make sure that the booklet tray of the standard stacker / stapler matches the correct booklet size to avoid paper jams.

Use the following storage recommendations: • Store printed output on a flat surface. • Store printed output so that the sheets cannot fold or crease and the toner cannot peel. • Use a binder for storage during a long period of time (more than two years). • Do not put the printed output on PVC.
Chapter 6 Keep the image quality high
Calibration Calibration About calibration Calibration is very important in keeping the print quality high for color reproduction. The environment of your print system influences the print quality. A constant temperature and humidity are essential for consistent color output. PRISMAsync automatically keeps the print quality as high as possible. However, additional calibration is essential to keep the color reproduction level stable for all the media types you use.
About calibration • When you want to increase the print quality for frequently used media families. For the media family calibration you need the Eye-One spectrophotometer. Media for calibration The printer and media family calibration need media. Media for the printer calibration You can define and see the media for the printer calibration in the Settings Editor. NOTE To find the media for printer calibration in the Settings Editor: [Preferences] -> [Print job defaults] -> [Calibration media].
Calibrate the printer Calibrate the printer Calibrate the printer when you see the calibration indicator dashboard. (See About calibration on page 160) on the right-hand side of the IMPORTANT You are strongly advised to perform a daily printer calibration.
Calibrate the media family Calibrate the media family Calibrate a media family in the following situations: • After the installation of the print system, for the default coated and uncoated media families. • When a new media family is created. • When a service replaces system parts. • When you want to increase the print quality for frequently used media families.

Create a trapping preset Create a trapping preset When you notice white edges between color planes, use a trapping preset to correct the connection between the color planes. A trapping preset is a collection of trapping settings for a job or job subset. Use the trapping preset editor to create your own trapping presets. [99] Trapping preset editor The trapping preset window provides an interface to create trapping presets.
Adjust the print quality for media Adjust the print quality for media About print quality for media The print quality of the printed output depends on the media used. When you add media to the media catalog, you can define attributes that influence the print behavior of the print system for these media types. Make sure that you select the correct media family and surface type when you add new media to the media catalog in the Settings Editor.
Correct curled output media Correct curled output media Media can arrive curled in the output tray. This is caused by temperature differences during the print process. You can perform a correction procedure to prevent curled sheets in the output trays. The results of the correction are immediately effective for jobs that use these media. For media that need a curl correction on the length and width, create two different entrances in the media catalog.
Perform a media registration Perform a media registration The media properties influence the alignment of the images on the printed output. To ensure the alignment is correct, perform a media registration for the media of the media catalog. You can shift the image manually, or start the registration wizard. The registration wizard includes a registration chart print for analysis. For new media, use the media registration wizard. You can perform a media registration via the Trays or System view.
