AutoSet is designed to be a “one button” calibration. Manually
performing the component calibrations of AutoSet is time-con-
suming and error-prone. They should only be performed as
directed by ColorSpan Technical Support.
If you decide to manually calibrate the printer, first clean the
print heads as described in “Cleaning Ink Jets” on page 3-11.
Next, perform one or more of the following calibrations:
◆ Manual BiDi Registration
prints bidirectional registration
patterns and allows you to report which pattern is the most
precise. For instructions, see “Manual Bidirectional Registra-
tion” on page 4-9.
◆ Manual Head Registration
(page 4-11) precisely aligns the
print heads relative to each other, for accurate colors and
precise registration of images.
◆ Manual Jet Mapping
(page 4-14) enables you to detect and
report nonfiring or misfiring ink jet nozzles, which enables
the printer to “fill in” for them.
After calibration, perform a color calibration (if supported by
your print server or RIP). This adjusts printing for variations in
ink, media, and local environment to ensure accurate color
matching. You should perform a color calibration when:
◆
When you notice a shift (change) in color output
◆
When changing ink types or sets
◆
When changing media types
◆
When changing print mode (only if the most precise color
matching is required)
For further information, see “Color Calibration” on page 4-16.
