14. Machine Reliability and Productivity The imagePRESS C6000 should be available approximately 95% of the time under the following conditions: • Genuine Canon parts and supplies are used exclusively. • Your installation and operating environment meets the specifications detailed in this document and other Canon service documentation.
14.1 Print Speed The print speed of the imagePRESS C6000 is best when a standard paper type is selected. The table below describes the printing speeds one should expect when printing on the indicated paper size and weight. “SB” in the table below refers to the optional Stack Bypass-A1.
Similar to the paper, the toner bottle may be removed and replaced while a job is printing. The imagePRESS C6000 has a large toner hopper, making it possible for the press to run much longer with no bottle. The operator is not required to replace the bottle immediately after removing the old bottle.
The imagePRESS C6000 maintains reliable, predictable, and high-quality output. Consistency of the output is dependent on knowing and compensating for variables of a print job. The imagePRESS C6000 incorporates many control systems which compensate for environmental and print process conditions.

Paper grain and curl can dramatically affect the reliability of machines utilizing an electrostatic process like the imagePRESS C6000 Paper used in an offset press is usually cut for short edge feeding. This type of paper is not as reliable as paper made for machines utilizing an electrostatic process, which is cut for long edge feeding.
16.6 Media Feed Locations As with all Canon copiers, certain feed locations within the device are capable of feeding specific media sizes and weights. Naturally, the stack bypass accommodates heavier and a wider variety of paper sizes than other feed locations.
