Network Printing and Connectivity Should Not Be an Afterthought
Why Stand Alone When You Can Connect?
When configured with one of two optional print controllers, the imageRUNNER 5000 becomes a powerful networked device, giving users full access to the imageRUNNER 5000’s advanced capabilities right from their desktops. Users can choose either the Canon-designed Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-A2 or the imagePASS-L1 Print Controller developed by Electronics for Imaging. Both enable 2400 x 600 dpi interpolated print resolution, and are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing network infrastructure.
The Canon-customized controller leverages the standard 250MHz processor embedded into each imageRUNNER 5000 base model. This controller is best suited for text-intensive documents common to the general office environment, and where PCL page description language represents the bulk of jobs sent to the printer.
The imagePASS-L1 Print Controller features an Intel® Celeron® 366MHz Mobile processor, and is designed for environments in which complex graphics, variable data, or true Adobe® PostScript® files make up the majority of print jobs. An imageRUNNER 5000 equipped with an imagePASS-L1 Print Controller gives users full access to EFI™ print utilities such as WebTools,™ DocBuilder,™ Command WorkStation,™ and Fiery® FreeForm.™
