can then distribute the scans via FTP,
Internet or fax; or email to any email
account around the world, download
the file directly to the Fiery Hold queue
to build documents and save the
scanned file directly to a PC. Scans
can also be retrieved via the Fiery
WebTools™ utility, local Fiery interface
or TWAIN plug-in.

view the current status of these jobs,
and merge, edit, preview and manage
these more efficiently. You can
also install print drivers and utilities
from workstations.
FTP Printing
This new feature allows the Colour
Network Printer Unit C1 V2.1 to work
as an FTP server allowing the user to
send files to the device through the
FTP protocol. The device will then
print the file.

accuracy and support for mixed
page sizes, late editing and
enhanced templates.

pages/sheets and wants to create a
booklet with A4 sheets printing each
page as A5.

Manage Colours Effectively
ColorWise
The Colour Network Printer Unit C1
V2.1 adds flexibility and features to
help you achieve professional colour
quality results on output devices and
accurately simulate the output of other
colour devices. Designed for
extensibility, ColorWise®colour
management software allows you to
add custom and future colour profiles
as you need them. ColorWise Pro Tools
(ICC Profile Manager, Colour Editor,
Colour SetUp and Calibrator)
ensure accurate printing in any
colour workflow.

Expert Level Colour Tools
Fiery Graphic Arts Package
The Colour Network Printer Unit C1
V2.1 now also includes two selected
tools from the Fiery Graphic Arts
Package, which integrate seamlessly
with ColorWise.
Auto trapping – automatically corrects
mis-registration, resulting in highest
quality output for the final printed job.
Spot-On – provides accurate and
consistent colour matching capabilities.
With Spot-On, you can manage named
colours, including all PANTONE, HKS,
Toyo and DIC names, in PostScript or
PDF documents. In addition, named
colours can be custom-created with
user-specified name and CMYK value.
High Performance Variable
Data Printing
Freeform Technology
Fiery FreeForm enables the Colour
Network Printer Unit C1 V2.1 to take
full advantage of digital printing
technology by making variable data
printing easy and fast. Any front-end
application can be deployed to create
master templates and variable
information, decreasing the learning
curve for new Variable Date Printing
(VDP) users. With Fiery FreeForm,
variable data is paired with master data
at the server. Then the master is RIPped
only once to save printing time.
Printshop Mail*
Graphic professionals can still utilize
their favorite applications and platforms
when creating VDP masters. A powerful
application, such as PrintShop Mail,
integrates design and database
functionality by simply dragging and
dropping database fields. With the full
integration of PrintShop Mail and Fiery
FreeForm technology, this represents a
unique and unprecedented option with
this package.
Canon can help you
create the highest quality
short-run documents out
of the box
