The optional imagePASS-M1
Print Controller
The imageRUNNER 105, like its predecessors, carries
on Canon’s networking tradition. imageRUNNER 105
customers can select both copying and printing capa-
bilities at the time of their initial purchase, or they
can add network printing capabilities later on.
Unparalled Print Performance
The imageRUNNER 105 offers two ways to connect
to the network—the Canon-designed Network
Multi-PDL Printer Kit-B2, and the imagePASS-M1
Print Controller, developed by Canon and Electronics
for Imaging (EFI TM ). Both solutions enable 600 x 2400 dpi
interpolated print resolution, and allow users to pro-
gram imageRUNNER system capabilities directly
from their desktops. However, each controller also
has distinctive strengths that make each ideally suited
to very different types of printing environments.
Canon’s Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-B2 leverages
the standard 250MHz processor built into each
imageRUNNER 105 base model. Using this Canon-
customized processor, the Network Multi-PDL Printer
Kit-B2 is best suited for the text-intensive, everyday
printing needs of busy corporate in-plants and print-
for-pay environments where PCL page description
language represents the bulk of jobs sent to the printer.
Canon’s imagePASS-M1 Print Controller features an
Intel ® Pentium ® III 500MHz processor, and is designed
to meet the needs of customers printing true Adobe ®
PostScript ® files, complex graphics, and variable data
output, as well as support EFI utilities such as Fiery
FreeForm TM .
When printing large, sophisticated files, the print
performance of an imageRUNNER 105 is at its best
when equipped with the imagePASS-M1 Print
Controller. But there are also some imageRUNNER 105
capabilities that can only be enabled through the
use of the Canon Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-B2,
such as Canon’s Universal Send** functionality.
imageRUNNER 105 customers should select the
print controller best suited for their particular printing
requirements. Both solutions have been designed to
integrate seamlessly with a customer’s existing
network infrastructure, and come with a full suite
of system utilities to simplify device installation
and management.
Connectivity Without Complications
The standard Canon controller
(embedded)
Driver Page Setup Tab Page Composer is a make-ready tool
allowing users to review and manipulate
whole documents before printing.
