I.  Product Overview 
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8400S  printer  is an  eight-color 44-inch large 
format graphic arts printer that incorporates the Canon LUCIA EX pigment ink set 
which produces images with a wide color gamut, improved scratch resistance, 
enhanced black and white gradation, reduced graininess and reduced ghosting. 
The built-in 250GB hard drive increases productivity by relieving workload from 
the host PC, while also providing increased capacity for print job data storage 
and retrieval. The new Multisensor design enhances color stability when used 
within the Canon Calibration Link, while its robust design enhances registration 
and improves jam detection.  
The Canon Calibration Link system for the S-series printers is a Canon utility that 
utilizes an imagePROGRAF iPF8400S equipped with an optional 
Spectrophotometer Unit SU-21 to calibrate third-party media. The resulting 
calibration data is distributed to the imagePROGRAF iPF8400S 
iPF6400s/iPF9400S printers in the Calibration Link. 
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Canon U.S.A., Inc. (Canon USA) has determined 
that the imagePROGRAF iPF8400S printer meets the Energy Star guidelines for 
energy efficiency.
