This completes the GA-1121 calibration process.
Using AutoCal and ColorCal
AutoCal and ColorCal allow you to calibrate the GA-1121 without the use of an additional spectrophotometer or densitometer. Instead, these methods use the copier/printer’s built-in scanner to measure toner density values. Using either AutoCal or ColorCal provides an equally accurate calibration of the GA-1121.
AutoCal and ColorCal have the following differences:
•Scanner calibration—ColorCal lets you calibrate the scanner (copier feeder) using the Kodak Color and Gray Scale strips. AutoCal lets you calibrate the copier using the Kodak Gray Scale strip; scanner calibration is not available.
•Measurement page—For ColorCal, square black-and-white and color patches are randomly printed on the ColorCal Measurement Page. This allows ColorCal to be less influenced by copier conditions, providing greater accuracy in color reproduction and calibration.
AutoCal is provided for compatibility with earlier GA-1121 servers. You can perform AutoCal or ColorCal calibration from either ColorWise Pro Tools or the GA-1121 Control Panel. For troubleshooting during the AutoCal procedure, see the Job Management Guide.
NOTE: To calibrate using AutoCal or ColorCal, you will need the Kodak Gray Scale strip included in the customer media pack that came with your GA-1121. You also need the Kodak Gray Scale strip and Kodak Color Control Patches strip to calibrate the scanner of the copier/printer for ColorCal.
