1. Software Features
The Clustering Kit server manages load balancing and print workflow
between the two Canon imageRUNNER devices in each printer group
as follows:
•
Fastest Single Engine Printer: Sends print jobs to the fastest printer.
•
Copy Split: Splits multiple copies or sets of a single print job
between the two-imageRUNNER devices effectively printing up to
52-ppm and 64-ppm depending on the device.
•
Long Job Split: Divides large single print jobs between the two-
imageRUNNER devices.
•
Preferred Printer: An end-user can manually choose a specific
device in which to send a print job.
Additionally, the Clustering Kit will redirect print jobs based on errors
and other criteria.
2. Software Utilities
•
Command WorkStation
v4.2 is a comprehensive print workflow
management application designed for monitoring jobs and print
queues.

EFI Hot Folders:
Software can be installed on any Windows client
computer networked to a Clustering Kit server. Hot Folders allow the
user to store their favorite print options and imposition settings in
special shortcut folders. By dragging and dropping a print job on a
shortcut folder, the print job is automatically sent to the Clustering
Kit-A1 server with the predefined print parameters.
•
Job Monitor:
Can be installed on any client computer that is
networked to the Clustering Kit server. Job Monitor provides print job
status on the Clustering Kit server and shows print job history.
