This chapter details the CMS Option Tool. Operations performed with the CMS Option Tool are discussed here. For detailed information on Calibration, please see the remaining chapters of the Color Management Guide.

Introduction to the CMS Option Tool

Listed below are the common uses of the CMS Option Tool:

•Print a Colorithmic pattern: Use this option to print a colorithmic pattern to be used for color conversion.

•Create calibration data: Use this option to create data to be used for calibration.

•Create custom paper settings: Use this option when using a paper type other than the standard types listed.

•Create custom ink settings: Use this option to create CMYK ink settings to be used other than the two standard types listed.

•Download Paper Information: Use this option to download paper settings that are registered in the CMS Option Tool.

•Backup and restore paper information: Use this option to backup and restore paper settings that are saved in the CMS Option tool.

Measuring devices

The following measuring devices are supported by the Xerox 490/980 Color Continuous Feed Printing System:

•iCColor

•DTP70

•Eye-One iSis

Although the above measuring devices are supported, it is recommended that you use the X- Rite Eye-One iSis measuring device with the Xerox 490/980 Color Continuous Feed Printing System. For instructions in this guide, the X-Rite Eye-One iSis is the measuring device preferred.
