uniFLOW sysHUB 2025.2 Boosts Print Room Automation and PRISMAsync Integration

Seamless PRISMAsync integration with JDF/JMF support and remote job control
Direct print room job submission from uniFLOW Online
Simplified job classification and user/permission transfer
Centralized GRID management and web-based batch processing

The release of uniFLOW sysHUB 2025.2 significantly improves production printing capabilities through tighter integration with PRISMAsync. Print jobs to production devices, such as the Canon varioPRINT iX3200, can now be submitted via the JMF (Job Messaging Format) protocol, with print settings transferred through a JDF (Job Definition Format) ticket. Additionally, this seamless integration enables sysHUB operators to access the PRISMAsync JDF editor to view, modify, and validate print settings. The PRISMAremote Manager can also be accessed for print job and device management directly on the device.

Moreover, the in-house printing process has been further optimized. End-users can now submit larger print jobs directly from uniFLOW Online to the sysHUB print room via the Universal Output Queue functionality from uniFLOW Online. To enhance usability, a wizard for job type classification has been added, offering operators a clean UI and pre-filled job attributes to simplify and accelerate sysHUB job classification. The new, modern design of sysHUB’s new online and offline documentation has been aligned with other uniFLOW products.

Seamless PRISMAsync integration uniFLOW sysHUB 2025.2 strengthens its production printing capabilities through deeper integration with PRISMAsync, Canon’s high-performance print controller. This enables more precise job control, streamlined automation, and centralized oversight.

Support for JDF and JMF

The release introduces full support for Job Definition Format (JDF) and Job Messaging Format (JMF), allowing sysHUB to communicate directly with PRISMAsync devices. This ensures accurate job ticketing, reduces setup errors, and improves overall workflow reliability.

PRISMAremote Manager integration

Operators can now monitor and manage jobs and devices remotely using PRISMAremote Manager. This centralized interface simplifies oversight across multiple devices and locations, enhancing productivity and responsiveness.

JDF editor access

sysHUB now includes access to the PRISMAsync JDF editor, enabling users to create and modify job tickets with greater flexibility. This supports custom workflows and ensures compatibility with diverse production environments.

Print Room job submission via uniFLOW Online

This release bridges the gap between end users and print room operators by enabling direct job submission from uniFLOW Online. The integration simplifies internal print workflows and reduces administrative overhead. Using the Universal Driver and Universal Output Queue, users can submit jobs from their desktop devices directly to the sysHUB print room. This eliminates the need for manual handoffs or email-based submissions, improving speed and accuracy. The feature is especially valuable for organizations with centralized print facilities, allowing employees to leverage professional-grade printing without leaving their workspace. It also supports secure job handling and consistent output quality.

Simplified job classification and user permission transfer

To support faster onboarding and easier administration, uniFLOW sysHUB 2025.2 introduces tools that simplify job classification and user management. A new wizard guides administrators through the process of creating and assigning job types. This reduces setup time and ensures consistent classification.

sysHUB now supports transfer of users and permissions between environments. This is particularly useful during system migrations or organizational changes, allowing IT teams to maintain access controls without manual reconfiguration.

Centralized GRID management and web-based batch processing uniFLOW sysHUB 2025.2 delivers backend improvements that boost system performance and reliability, especially in high-volume environments. GRID configurations can now be managed centrally, simplifying deployment and maintenance across sysHUB Grid nodes. This reduces management complexity and ensures consistent performance.

The new web-based batch processing feature allows sysHUB to handle large volumes of HTTP/XML requests more efficiently. This minimizes latency and improves throughput for data-intensive workflows. These enhancements support faster processing, reduced downtime, and better scalability.
