Furthermore, using the CCMC color management utility allows an administrator to centrally manage multiple re- motely connected printers from a single computer, and to reduce the variations in color tone between the printed material output from multiple printers.
Stabilizing Colors (Color Calibration Execution Guide Settings) It is important to carry out color calibration because color tones change as a printhead ages and the environment changes. This printer has a function that notifies when it is recommended to execute color calibration.
Managing Colors Using Printer Sensors Managing Colors Using Printer Sensors You can correct for variations in color tones due to differences between individual printheads and changes with aging by executing the following functions using the color calibration function using the printer sensor.
• Media Configuration Tool (Mac OS X) →P.595 Things That Can Be Done Using CCMC You can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility. For a detailed explanation, see the following. • Color Calibration Management Console (Windows) →P.
(See "Executing Color Calibration (Mac OS X).") →P.818 • Preparing the Printer 1 You can confirm whether the paper to be loaded can be used in color calibration. (See "Paper that can be used in Color Calibration.") →P.760 2 Load the paper.
Checking Color Calibration Execution Logs You can confirm information of color calibration such as the execution date and executed paper type by the following method. How to Check How to Operate Confirm it on the Control Panel of the printer. From Set.
• The media types shown in the table are the names that are displayed in the printer Control Panel. Paper Type Country or Region of Use selected when the Media Configuration Tool was installed Adjus.
Registration and Confirmation of Paper Information • To Register Paper Information on the Printer • When using newly released paper, paper information must be registered on the printer and the printer driver. Download the new version of Media Information File from the Canon website and install it.
Adjustment Types of Color Calibration Color calibration has two adjustment types, Common calibration and Unique calibration, with one of these selected when color calibration is executed. The selected adjustment type is determined from the media type that color calibration is executed on.
• Unique calibration If color calibration is executed on paper categorized as Unique calibration, calibration adjustment values are set only for the media type that the color calibration was executed on.
