CMS Option Tool Overview

The CMS (Color Management System) optional tool is installed using GUI software added to the remote PC.

The CMS Option tool has the following features:

Creating a color conversion table

Creating a calibration table

You can use the CMS Option Tool to add paper color characteristics and CMYK ink characteristics. When adding characteristics, the printer will generate a color conversion table. This table will be used and allow you to specify paper color characteristics or CMYK ink characteristics. You can add these selections when making job queue settings.

Over the course of time, the printer’s color characteristics are often altered during printing. The process to correct those color inconsistencies is called calibration. You can create a color correction table using the CMS Option Tool for calibration. If you have a duplex configuration, you can perform calibration on both printers.

Major Functions of the CMS Option Tool

The two major functions of the CMS Option tool is to generate calibration and color conversion tables.
