Note:

Always print the calibration page using the same media

 

and toner or press ink as used for the final copy. When

 

calibrating film media, you

must select Man Feed

using the Tray Select key and select the media size through the front panel MISC: MAN FEED menu. Universal is the largest size available in the front panel. If you have larger media, you need to cut it down to 13" x 18.5" (330 mm x 470 mm).

Also, when possible, calibrate from the final output. For example when calibrating for plates, take the plate to press and print. Then, measure the output from the press.

a.Select Negative Film to calibrate the printer if you are calibrating for negative output from your printer.

b.Select Emulsion Side Down if you want to print a mirror image.

Note: The printed calibration page will still look like a positive, but the patch (box) values will be reversed.

c.Select the custom Gamma Curve you want to update from the Update Gamma Curve list. This curve selection automatically updates the LPI option to match the lpi listed for the selected curve. To select a different lpi setting, use the LPI option and scroll to the desired setting.

Note: If you select a custom lpi for a listed curve, the lpi listed in front of the curve’s name in the

Update Gamma Curve boxdoes not change to match the new lpi. In this case, you need to keep

a record of the new lpi setting for that gamma curve.

d.Select the resolution which you will use to print the final output in the printer front panel MISC: DPI menu.
