1. Introduction
This document shortly describes the settings that are present in the Settings Editor. The goal of
the document is to have an overview of all the settings in the Settings Editor to help service
technicians, system administrator and key operators to find relevant configuration information.
The descriptions are valid for imagePRESS C850 series
Access to the Settings Editor
• Be sure the PRISMAsync controller is switched on.
• On a remote PC open an Internet Browser.
• In the address bar enter the IP-address or Hostname of the PRISMAsync.
• Hit “Enter”
If you have no access to a remote PC you can use a laptop and connect it directly to the
PRISMAsync controller.
• Disconnect the cross-over Ethernet cable from the copier and connect it to the Ethernet port
on your laptop.
• Set the IP-address of your laptop to 134.188.254.21
• Set the Subnet mask of your laptop to 255.255.255.0
• On the laptop open an Internet browser
• In the address bar, enter http://134.188.254.11
The Settings Editor will open and the first tab (Media) will be visible. Browse through the tabs
on the top side of the window to go to different sections.
The top sections are:
• Media
• Color
• Preferences
• Workflow
• Transaction Printing (If an IPDS License is installed)
• Configuration
• Support
In each tab you will find sub-sections describing their own topic.

oAdvanced: Gloss and fine black adjustment: Adjust the temperature of the
fixing units to change the glossiness. For black areas, this setting can also
improve the following: tiny white grainy dots appear and the paper fibers are
partly visible on the print. When you change the values, the paper can pass
through the primary fixing unit only or through both the primary and secondary
fixing units. It is advised to change the value in small steps. This setting can
affect the paper curl. If necessary, re-adjust the ‘Curl correction’ setting. Increase
the values to increase the gloss. Decrease the values to decrease the gloss.
Increase the values to improve black areas. The gloss and fine black values are
directly related to each other. Gloss -2 means Fine black +2, Gloss -1 means Fine
black +1. All other Gloss settings result in a Fine Black settings of 0. Do not use

9
PRISMAsync V1.2 for imagePRESS C800 series
_____________________________________________________________________
PRISMAsync support Primary Transfer Voltage for Black which is a
countermeasure for wide sheets printed directly after a run of smaller size sheets.
It is connected to a media in the media catalogue.
It is destined to set BK's primary transfer voltage lower on wide sheets. Voltage
level depends on amongst other engine’s aging, ratio of wide sheets. The
customer needs to tweak the settings to achieve the best output.
2.2 Media Families
A media family is a set of media that use the same output profile and calibration. When
calibrating a media that belongs to a specific media family, all of the media in this family is
calibrated.
• Add
You can add your own media family. Properties of the family must be set: Name,
Description, and the output profiles for Normal, Fine and Error diffusion halftones.
A media family calibration expiration interval can be set between 0 and 365 days in steps of 1
day. The operator will be warned on the operator panel when printing jobs using media from
a family for which calibration has expired.
Media families calibration with an expiration interval set to ‘0’ will never expire.
A job is signalled for calibration at the start of the day (00:00) that required media family
calibration curves to expire.
10

• Copy
Copy the selected media family and give it a new name. All the properties of the family are
copied to the new one.
• Edit
Change the attributes of the selected media family. In this window you can also restore the
default calibration curve.
• Delete
Remove the selected media family. If there is still media assigned to the selected family it is
impossible to delete the family. First you have to remove the media or move it to another
family. The media family should not be in use before deleting it.

2.3 Configuration
In order to configure the system behaviour regarding media handling, some settings are added in
this section.
• Media management via control panel
Disable this setting if you do not want that operators to change and add media on the control
panel.
• Warnings on missing media attributes
Missing media attributes can lead to a decrease in the print quality. When warnings are
enabled, alerts are shown if all media attributes are not defined.
• Warning when media family needs calibration
An un-calibrated media family can lead to a decrease in the print quality. When warnings are
enabled, alerts are shown if a media family was never calibrated or when the last calibration
is too old.
• Media optimization via control panel
Disable this setting if you do not want that operators to perform media optimization
procedures via the control panel.

Note: G7 calibration is a color calibration method that is being promoted, in particular in the
U.S.A., by IDEAlliance. G7 stands for grayscale plus seven colors: the subtractive colors
(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) and the additive colors (Red, Green, and Blue). It has its
origin in offset printing, but it is being promoted for digital processes as well. It has a
particular focus on the neutrality of the gray axis. Please find more information on G7 here:
http://www.idealliance.org/specifications/g7.
• To be able to use G7: G7 support must be enables first via the Settings Editor (Color > Color
Calibration > under G7 calibration).
G7 Calibration settings in the Settings Editor
• With G7 support enabled, G7 compliant factory default output profiles become accessible for
use, and listed in the output profiles section in Settings Editor (Color > Output profiles).

Note:
For this functionality the “Advanced Color Management” license is needed.
An operator can define color mappings via the Settings Editor. In order to define a color
mapping, the operator first has to define a color mapping group. This color mapping group can
contain multiple color mappings. Color mappings are part of the color presets and can be
selected in the windows driver and Automated WorkFlow by choosing a color preset (custom or
predefined).
A color mapping is only applied to print jobs (so not to e.g. copy jobs). Color mapping
functionality is available for both PDF and PS jobs.

DocBox is short for Document Box. The DocBox function, which is available through the
operator panel, creates a buffer between the preparation of a job, for example page
programming, and the printing of the job. The DocBox supports the operator by offering
comprehensive means to store, group, edit and reprint documents. These editing options are a
subset of the PRISMAprepare job preparation software.A DocBox can contain the following
jobs:
• Print jobs
• Scan jobs
You can use a DocBox:
• To carry out advanced job preparation actions.
• To correct settings when the proof print is not correct, for example change the print quality
or layout of a document.
• To combine analogue documents with digital documents.
• To store jobs that must be reprinted regularly, for examples reports or books.

5.3 Hotfolders
Technically, a hotfolder is a mapped network drive on a workstation that is linked to a shared
folder on the PRISMAsync controller.
For an operator, a hotfolder is a folder on a workstation where printable files can be dropped for
printing.
Hotfolders are primarily aimed at recurring PDF workflows. In these workflows, PDFs or other
printable files, with identical settings, are printed on a regular basis. The hotfolder functionality
should be enabled first and configured before you can use it.
• Add
Use this button to add a new hotfolder. You have to enter a name of the hotfolder and the

_____________________________________________________________________
automated workflow to which you want to connect it.
• Edit
Change the name of the hotfolder or the connected automated workflow.
• Delete
Remove the selected automated workflow.
• Configure
To use an automated workflow you first have to enable it. Then you can enter a username and
a password. This username is used when you want to connect to the hotfolder (Mount it).
After Configure is ready you have to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
Note: The existing SMB hotfolder functionality is extended with WebDAV support. Web
Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) that allows clients to perform remote content authoring operations. This
allows having 30 simultaneous SMB folders possible.After enabling WebDAV in the
configuration dialog (Settings Editor: Workflow > Hotfolder), it will work the same as SMB
hotfolders on the controllers side. WebDAV uses the same mechanism as SMB which means
workflow management and folder monitoring are the same.
The benefits for WebDAV folders:
o Easy hotfolders solution for the MAC. No need for the Mac Automator tool anymore
o The folders are accessible in HTTP and HTTPS mode.
• Ticket Editor
A ticket editor is available in this section to create a ticket (default_ticket.jdf). Copy the
resulting ticket into a hotfolder to create an automated workflow connected to that hotfolder.
Note:
53
PRISMAsync V1.2 for imagePRESS C800 series
_____________________________________________________________________
This functionality is the same as the driver functionality that allows saving the
ticket/template. The ticket editor provides this possibility without having a driver installed.
5.4 Remote printers
To be flexible in the way jobs are dealt with, the operator has the ability to forward an existing
print job to another print system. This functionality is available on the user interface and in
Remote Manager.
Main benefit: increase flexibility and productivity; be more productive in a multi-engine
environment.
Job forwarding on the user interface has the following characteristics:
• A copy of the job is made to the receiving print system
• The original job stays on the sending print system
• The original job ticket is sent along
Remote printers button in the Jobs workspace on the operator panel

5.6 Scan profiles
The 'Copy/Scan' section on the printer operator panel displays templates that give access to copy
and scan functions. The copy templates are factory default templates. To use scan templates, you
must first create scan-to-file and scan-to-email profiles in the scan profiles file (sjt.csv) on the
PRISMAsync controller. Proceed as follows:
• Download the file via the Settings Editor ('Workflow' -> 'Scan profiles' -> 'Download
scanprofiles').
• Edit the file in Microsoft® Excel®, for example.
• Upload the file via the Settings Editor ('Workflow' -> 'Scan profiles' -> 'Upload scan
profiles').
Each scan profile consists of a combination of individual settings for specific scan jobs, either
scan to file or scan to email. The display name you define for a scan profile is shown in the
'Copy/Scan' section on the printer operator panel.
The scan profiles file must contain a header line (mandatory) and at least 1 line with ascan
profile.
A "," or ";" separates the items in a record.
<CR> or <LF> separates records.
The header record shows the items that the scan profile uses (dispname, format,ilc, pre-fix,
minnr, maxnr, name_nr_title, cfname, subfolder, postfix, OrigOrientation, OrigDuplex,
OrigKind, OrigZoom, OrigFormat, DestFormat, DestQual, DestColor).
A profile record contains the unique settings for various scan job types. dispname, format,
ilc,prefix, minnr, maxnr, name_nr_title and cfname are mandatory. The other recorditems are
optional. Check the user manual for the detailed description of these items.

6. Transaction Printing
With transaction printing, a server sends a stream of pages to the printer. Typically the server
closely monitors the status and progress of the printer to ensure that every sheet is printed
exactly once.
To the end-user, transaction printing concerns business critical data. For that reason, a dedicated
server is used to guard printing. For the PRISMAsync the IPDS-protocol (including PDF
containers) is used.
The server uses a bi-directional connection to enable feedback.
All data sent in one connection session is considered to be part of the same data stream. This
stream may contain job separators in this case the printer shows separate jobs.
From a server point of view, these jobs are part of the same stream. Therefore it is not allowed
to change the order or cancel one of these jobs. Instead, it is only possible to cancel the entire
stream.
The server uses the printer status data to determine when print data can be sent. Furthermore, the
printer status data contains the media currently loaded in the trays of the printer.
Whenever a sheet has been printed successfully, this sheet is reported ‘secured’ towards the
server.
The following settings regarding Transaction Printing are present in the Settings Editor.
6.1 Setups
A transaction printing setup is a set of parameters to be used in transaction printing. Multiple
setups can be defined by the operator, but only one setup can be loaded.
As long as Transaction printing is offline, one can load an active setup via the operator panel or
the Settings Editor.

6.2 IPDS Setup
IPDS
• Tray selection mechanism
This setting defines the behavior of the paper trays. When you select 'Tray to media', the
logical tray numbers are mapped to media. When you select 'Tray to tray', the logical tray
numbers are mapped to physical trays. (Default: Tray to media)
• Data resolution
This setting allows you to specify the resolution of the bitmaps that the printer accepts.
(Default: Auto)
• Default output location
You can indicate the output location for your job on the operator panel, in the printer driver
or in an application. When the location is not indicated, the printer uses the default value.
Select the desired default value from the list. The output locations you can select depend on
60
PRISMAsync V1.2 for imagePRESS C800 series
_____________________________________________________________________
your system's configuration. You can always overrule the indicated value on the operator
panel, in the printer driver or in an application. (Default: Stacker/stapler lower tray)
• Offset stacking
Offset stacking means that all sets of a print job must go into the selected output location
with a small shift between the sets instead of in one straight stack. You can always overrule
this setting in the print stream. (Default: Enabled)
• Font capture
This setting allows you to specify if resources are automatically captured from jobs that are
sent to the printer for later reference. (Default: Disabled)
• Extend the logical page (millipoints)
The logical page size is virtually extended with the entered number of millipoints. This
makes it possible to print (slightly) larger page sizes without the controller reporting that
information could not be printed on a page. (Default: 0; Minimum: 0; Maximum: 24000)
• Output recovery
When output recovery is suppressed, the printer will not automatically make sure that the
output is correct after a recovery. The host system and the operator are responsible for the
recovery. Furthermore, printing intermediate check prints is disabled. (Default: Normal)
• Face orientation
With this setting, the default face orientation of the requested finisher can be overruled per
setup. This setting is only active for transaction printing jobs. (Default: Finisher default)
• Z-fold mode
Use Z-fold mode only, when a mixed-size set must both be Z-folded and stapled. This is to
prevent subsets within the stapled set. Do not use Z-fold mode in other situations. (Default:
Off)
IPDS Image Shift
• Image shift in feed direction of side 1
When you use pre-printed media with marked locations for specific text, for example, a
misalignment of the text can occur. To correct these misalignments, enter the desired value
to shift the image in the feed direction of side 1. (Default: 0 mm; Minimum: -4.2; Maximum:
4.2); Step: 0.1)
• Image shift in cross-feed direction of side 1
When you use pre-printed media with marked locations for specific text, for example, a
misalignment of the text can occur. To correct these misalignments, enter the desired value
to shift the image in the cross-feed direction of side 1. (Default: 0 mm; Minimum: -4.2;
Maximum: 4.2); Step: 0.1)
• Image shift in feed direction of side 2
When you use pre-printed media with marked locations for specific text, for example, a
misalignment of the text can occur. To correct these misalignments, enter the desired value
to shift the image in the feed direction of side 2. (Default: 0 mm; Minimum: -4.2; Maximum:
4.2); Step: 0.1)
• Image shift in cross-feed direction of side 2
When you use pre-printed media with marked locations for specific text, for example, a
misalignment of the text can occur. To correct these misalignments, enter the desired value
to shift the image in the cross-feed direction of side 2. (Default: 0 mm; Minimum: -4.2;

PDF specific
• PDF "all" to black
PDF has a number of pre-defined color names. The color name „all“ means that the rip will
use a 100% coverage of all the available colors. The color “all” is really intended for
printing of alignment marks, such as small crosses, when one color is misaligned you’ll see
a separate cross in that color. When everything is OK, there will be a single cross mark. A
color printer with toner, however, has problems printing areas with a 400% coverage. The
toner layer will simply be too thick. Therefore through this GUI option, the RIP can be
forced to rip the color “all” to only 100% black, instead of 100% of each of the four colors.
This is necessary when a PDF container specifies larger areas with the PDF color
“all”.(Default: No)
• PDF enable cache
Default: No
• PDF overprint simulation
Makes opaque objects look transparent. Underlying objects are visible. Default: Yes.
IPDS tray-to-tray mapping

The Organizational Unit field is used to differentiate between different divisions within an
organization, for example "Internet Security Unit" or "Human Resources." This field is also
recommended to be used for specifying a DBA (Doing Business As...) value.
• Locality
The Locality field denotes the city that the organization resides in. If the organization has
local standing only, by virtue of having a business license registered with the City Clerk for
the City of Cambridge in the State of Massachusetts, then the Locality field must contain
Cambridge.
• State or province
The state or province field specifies where the organization is physically located. If your
organization is incorporated in Delaware but has a DBA (Doing Business As...) within
California, use California. The State or Province field should not be an abbreviated field. For
example, "CA" is not a valid state name. "California" is the proper state name

7.4 Groups
Access management from PRISMAsync V5 onwards is based on users and groups:
• Users are members of groups
• Groups have privileges attached
A group refers to a group of users which share the same access permissions.
In PRISMAsync V5.1 there are 6 pre-defined groups and 9 pre-defined access permissions.
The following table shows the defaulted assigned privileges of the pre-defined groups. These
are exactly the same permissions as provided in previous PRISMAsync releases, with the
exception of the Operators which now by default have access only to own jobs.
