Calyx RIM Administration

Use Canon imageRUNNER Printers

Calyx RIM is compatible with Canon ImageRUNNER printers for paper output. These printers must be used with a Canon ImagePASS printer controller.  Calyx RIM does not support the standard imageRUNNER printer controller.

The paper output from these printers is limited to white and one other paper color supported for slip sheets and color cover pages. Because Calyx RIM selects paper by media attributes (size, weight, media type, and color) your Canon ImageRUNNER printer must be configured for the paper stocks you use in it. This setup is done on the printer operator panel and touch screen.
  • Only white and color paper color are supported. The imageRUNNER cannot be configured to distinguish paper by color.
  • Drilled (pre-punched) color and tab papers are not supported.

Tabs are inserted in the volume PDF and PostScript output file as normal letter or A4 pages. Special ImagePASS commands select the correct media and shift the page image to the correct position. Tab pages will appear as normal letter or A4 when the PostScript output file is distilled to PDF.

  • Extra pages for any unused tabs in the last set of tabs are added to the printable output.
  • All supported imageRUNNER printers have an unprintable area 13 points (13/72 in. or approx. 4.5mm) wide around the page. This includes Tab pages. Tab text is set inside the printable area of the page in the Volume PDF. Any PDF content which falls outside of the printable area of the physical page will be clipped by the printer

The following paper types are supported for imageRUNNER printers:

  • A4
  • Color A4
  • Drilled A4
  • Letter
  • Color Letter
  • Drilled Letter
  • Plain Flush-Cut A4 5 down Tab
  • Plain Gutter-Cut A4 5 down Tab
  • Plain Letter 5 down Tab
  • Plain A4 10 down Tab
Note: When using Canon imagePASS S-1 or Canon imagePASS M3 printers, Tabs in Volumes that do not begin with a tab page are printed with the text in the original position - the text is not shifted. This is a Canon printer problem and users must contact the Canon corporation for a resolution.
