Recommended Calibration Conditions

This section describes the recommended conditions for performing the pre-calibration and color calibration procedures in the following chapters.

1.The printer should be properly maintained in accordance with supplied Xerox documentation.

2.The paper stock used to perform the pre-calibration and color calibration should be the same paper stock used for jobs that will be submitted after the pre-calibration and color calibration have been successfully performed.

Note

The lamp specification given in the following condition is only a recommendation, not a requirement.

D50 Ra=99, Color rendering AAA, 5000K Extra neutral white fluorescent bulb.

3.The printer is located in an environment comparable to the B-Zoneof the table below:

Environmental Zone	Temp. Range	Rel. Humidity Range	Comments

B-Zone	59° F to 86° F	30% to 65% RH	The 490/980 CCF
	15° C to 30° C		Printing System will
			deliver optimal
			performance in this
			zone.

C-Zone	50° F to 82° F	65% - 85% RH	The 490/980 CCF
	15° C to 27° C		Printing System will
			deliver degraded
			performance in this
			zone.

A-Zone	59° F to 90° F	15% to 30%	The 490/980 CCF
	15° C to 32°		Printing System will
			deliver degraded
			performance in this
			zone.
