level print controller that seamlessly handles the rigours of
a production print environment. Compatible with 10base-T,
100base-TX, and 1000base-T Ethernet interfaces and
commonly used operating systems including Windows
NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP and Mac OS 10.2 or later, the IC-303 is
ready for any network. Even graphics-intense jobs will be

From data manipulation to imposition and
bookmaking
EFI Impose
This optional software allows you to make adjustments
to files that have already been spooled. Editing features
include combining data from multiple files and applications,
replacing pages and creating page impositions for saddle
stitching and folding. With EFI Impose, it's easy to create
new files as well as manage pre-existing files.

The variable printing solution
FreeForm
Personalised marketing materials such as DMs are a
great way to build strong relationships with customers.
With FreeForm, RIPed data can be paired with variable
data to automatically create customised output.
Management tools for faithful colour reproduction
ColorWise
Adjust colour settings to suit paper types and automate colour document
workflow with ColorWise, the colour management system that ensures
consistent colour across applications, computer platforms, and colour file formats.
Fiery Calibrator
Fiery Calibrator enables the main body scanner to measure 272 colours, making it useful as a high-
precision colour measurement tool to calibrate the bizhub PRO C6500.
Spot-On
Giving you the ability to create, adjust, and use custom spot colours, Spot-On simplifies the process
of job-specific colour management. Spot colour data for DIC, TOYO, HKS, and Pantone are pre-
installed and spot colours can be edited and saved with CMYK values.
Full Output GCR
After CMYK values are converted to CIE colour space, CMYK values are recreated with appropriate
output GCR instructions. This process makes dark areas look less muddy by reducing cyan,
magenta, and yellow toner in equal increments and replacing it with black toner to achieve the
desired shade of grey.
Black Overprint
With the black overprint feature turned on, black text can be added on top of a background image
without a white outline caused by image creep. The quality is comparable to that of an offset printer.
Print job management from your PC
Command WorkStation
A powerful network management tool, Command WorkStation gives
you a high level of control right from your PC. Among other functions,
spooled jobs can be reprinted and the order of queued jobs can be
rearranged to prioritise output.
Hot Folder
This optional timesaving feature allows you to simply drag and drop a file
into a preset folder to begin printing right from a network PC. Job tickets
containing user-defined output instructions for colour, size, and other
settings are automatically created and embedded in the designated Hot
Folder before being sent to the IC-303 Print Controller for processing.
The result is full automation of the printing process.

39ppm Full-colour Scanning
High-volume scanning at the RADF is possible when the
print controller is attached. Analogue originals are
efficiently converted to TIFF, JPEG or PDF format,
allowing them to be easily stored, archived and shared.
Parallel Processing of Scan and Print Jobs
The Scan While Print function minimises downtime to allow a
scan job and a print job to be processed simultaneously.
