THE CANON CLC 4000—
MAXIMUM VALUE, MINIMAL COST
You need a heavy-duty solution for
your growing color output volumes,
but finding the right combination of
value, speed, and performance has
been difficult. Until now. Meet the
new Canon CLC 4000, an economical solution to meet both your
expanding entry-level production
needs and your budget.
Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, no other networked
color printing system offers so much versatility, so much
value. With a fast 40-page-per-minute output speed, improved media flexibility, and professional finishing, the
powerful combination of the Canon CLC 4000 and companion ColorPASS-Z6000 Color Server is the best value
on the market. Specifically designed to maximize file processing productivity and print engine performance at minimal cost, this dynamic duo delivers better results, better
control, and the opportunity to broaden the scope of
services you offer.
It’s all about the data. Installing the CLC 4000 as a fullcolor networked printing system is where the real value
lies. In fact, over 90% of all CLC systems are sold connected to a Canon color server—and for good reason.
Putcost-effective, full-color, print-on-demand capabilities
at your fingertips. The CLC 4000 is flexible—it may be connected to one of several Canon ColorPASS color server
solutions, or T/R Systems

for Canon. The
latest addition to the Canon ColorPASS family, the new
ColorPASS-Z6000, enables users to achieve new levels of
functionality and productivity beyond the scope of previous entry-level production controllers.
Featuring a powerful Pentium
®
proces-
sor and Windows
®
XP operating system, Canon ColorPASS color servers
support all the latest CLC 4000 features and accessories, and drive the
engine at its rated speed to make
short work of the most complex files.
Their super-fast CPUs rapidly process
large files with sophisticated graphics.
The optional Advanced Controller Kit for use with the
ColorPASS-Z6000 allows you to connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse for pinpoint control right at the system.
Simple Network Integration
The first step is simple network integration. NetWise
™
3 makes CLC 4000 installation a plug-and-play process. Its open
architecture enables automatic switching between TCP/IP, AppleTalk,
®
and
IPX/SPX
™
for seamless integration into
any network scheme. For environments
requiring truly high-speed data commu-
nications, the new ColorPASS controllers come standard
with gigabit Ethernet capabilities.
NetWise 3 even allows you to send files as E-mail attachments to printers from any remote location. Need to
capture or incorporate existing hard-copy images into
electronic files? Fiery Remote Scan lets you easily scan
multipage hard-copy documents for integration into your
digital workflow.
Powerful Job Management
Speaking of control, Canon ColorPASS color servers feature
Command WorkStation 4.1 for Windows and the new
Command WorkStation LE 4.0 for Mac, powerful job management
software solutions that allow you to monitor and manage all jobs and servers from a single screen. The improved
UniDriver for Windows provides user-customizable shortcuts, pop-up menu information, and draggable watermarks.
The Job Properties window of Command WorkStation now
features UniDriver-like functionality to manage job programming through a single screen. Manipulate files with PitStop
software, and translate reader spreads into paginated bookletform with DocBuilder Pro. Preview jobs before printing,
and archive them afterward for future use without re-RIPing.

Cluster Printing Solution
Need greater bandwidth to support document production
over several machines? T/R Systems MicroPress for Canon
clusters multiple color and black-and-white solutions into
a powerful production output management system using
one controller. Execute job splitting to speed completion
while retaining access to a number of advanced job and
color management capabilities thatstreamline processes
in production-level environments.
Outstanding Performance
After your job is processed, and all color and document
settings have been made to your specifications, rest
assured that every image will leap off the page, thanks to
Canon’s legendary image quality. Finer, Brighter (FB) Toner
provides a color space larger than that of most competitive
devices and commercial presses, so it can achieve subtle
blends, smooth gradations, and crisp text. Automatic
Image Refinement technology boosts CLC 4000 output resolution to the equivalent of 800 x 400 dpi for the sharpest
possible images, while Automatic Registration Adjustment
self-calibrates for improved image registration.
ButCLC 4000 value doesn’t stop there. When it’s time to
putimagesto paper, the CLC 4000 really shines. Its fourway, 4,850-sheet standard paper supply offers expanded
size and weight capacities so you can execute any job
in-house. Feed 12" x 18" heavyweight and coated stocks
up to 253gsm through the new 3,500-sheet Paper Deck-R1
or the 250-sheet Stack Bypass. Both 550-sheet paper
drawers are user-adjustable for sizes up to 11" x 17" and
in weights of up to 105gsm. Plus, its Stackless Automatic
Duplex technology allows you to produce booklets and
other two-sided documents on heavyweight media up to
163gsm from the Paper Deck. For manual duplex jobs, the
optional Stack Bypass Alignment Tray provides improved
front-to-back registration.
Hard-copy Reproduction
Sometimes, you’ll need to reproduce existing hard-copy
originals. Leverage the CLC 4000’s 400 x 400 dpi full-color
scanner as a 100-sheet Automatic Document Feeder with
the optional RDF-E3. Productively scan one- or two-sided
originals as large as 11" x 17" at 40 pages per minute. A
complete spectrum of color and image manipulation features is at every user’s fingertips for the accurate reproduction or modification of existing hard-copy images. And
as always, every CLC 4000 copy delivers brilliant color
images and reveals fine details—even skin tones that
other solutions find hard to reproduce.
Professional Finishing
When you’re ready to finish the job, no one comes close to
matching Canon’s finishing capabilities. For environments
that utilize off-line finishing equipment, two Stacker options
are available. Users can let long jobs run unattended with
the 2,500-sheet High-capacity Stacker TS-100, while the
new 3,000-sheet Offset Stacker-B1 is designed for users
who require offset capabilities.
The Nagel Finisher is an ideal fit for growing production
environments. With DocBuilder Pro imposing pages on
the front end, and the powerful combination of the Nagel
Booklet-maker and Trimmer on the back end, you’ll have
a complete solution for the professional production of
saddle-stitched and trimmed booklets up to 64 pages
(16 sheets). And, because the Nagel Finisher handles
stock weights greater than the duplexing capacity of the
CLC 4000, you can use it as an off-line finishing device
for manual duplex jobs produced on the CLC 4000, or
to complement other printing equipment.
From the start of your job—scanning, imposing, managing
color—straight through to the finished saddle-stitched,
trimmed, and folded booklets, the CLC 4000 is the most
versatile, affordable solution for your growing productionlevel needs. And it’s from Canon, the name you’ve come
to trust for industry-leading color output solutions.
