SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Printing the IPS color samples
Your IPS has two sets of color palette trace files, stored in the /var/db directory on the Printer Controller. Each set contains one palette for each color of dry ink available for the IPS. Appendix B of your System Overview Guide contains samples of both sets of printed palettes for each color ink.
Note: Each color file is applicable only to the corresponding color of dry ink that is installed in the printer. 
Extraction color palettes
By printing the following palette files, you can see how the different color extractions affect the appearance of colored areas printed with each color of ink.

Procedure for printing the palettes
You can print out these palette files, which are actually captured trace files, to find out how your particular IPS printer produces the various shades and tints of the color ink that is loaded. Use the procedure for executing a captured trace, as follows.
1.Make sure that the specified extraction color is the same as the color ink that is loaded in the printer. For palettes of colors that are not listed on the Extraction menu, substitute extraction colors as directed in “Setting the extraction color,” earlier in this chapter.
2.Select Trace Options from the Diagnostics
3.On the Trace Options window, click Offline.
