1 Calibrating the Printer
This section includes instructions for calibrating t he Kodak Professional LED
Printers 20P/20R, Generations l and ll.
Kodak provides calibration applications for Windows NT and Macintosh systems.
See “Installing the Calibration Software” on page 3-1 for installation ins tructions.
See Section 3, Using Additional Calibration Features , for details about the
windows and dialog boxes for the application software and for additional
procedures not performed with each calibration.
Calibration is the process for creating and maintaining a Look-Up Table (LUT) that
produces the correct color balance for all images pri nted on the Printer. There is
sufficient variation among printers that each printer must b e calibrated separately.
Before calibrating, make sure that:
•the paper path is threaded
•the printer status is “Online and Ready”
•no other printer applications are active
•the calibration application is running
•within the Kodak Professional Device Calibration sof tware:
—at least one device is defined (see “Adding, Updating, and Dele ting
Devices” on page 3-9)
—any needed changes to the configuration file are in place (see “Editing the
Device Configuration” on page 3-25)
•the densitometer is connected and calibrated
•the paper processor is in control
