6.2 Daily Management 6 6.2 Daily Management Daily color management is necessary to consistently maintain proper color output. In the following cases, you should execute the color settings using Color Centro. - 30 minutes after turning on the power of the main body in the morning. - Every time 1000 sheets are output. - The screen settings or paper type have changed. - When it is worried that the change of environment conditions has a bad influence on hue. - Before output whose hue is very important. Especially, you should execute a calibration process at least once a day. We recommend executing any of workflows described on page 6-5 or combination of those for daily management of color settings. 6.2.1 Calibration on Color Centro The calibration is a function to specify the data which become the reference values for the entire system about color printing and also to adjust the reference value. Therefore, calibration is one of the main operations of daily maintenance. There are two methods for calibration of the main body. One is the automatic calibration by the internal sensor of the RU option of the main body. The other is the manual calibration using Color Centro and the instrument. When you print the job in which the color accuracy is important, or you change the paper type, set the reference value of the entire system by calibration. When the RU option is not installed to the main body, execute the calibration by Color Centro. When it is installed, select the calibration method. In addition, fine adjustment of the reference value is necessary along with the time passage. Determining the necessity of the fine adjustment of the reference value from the view point of the actual printed color, execute the calibration. d Reference For detailed information on how to operate the function, refer to page 7-2.

Daily Management

Daily color management is necessary to consistently maintain proper color output.

In the following cases, you should execute the color settings using Color Centro.

30 minutes after turning on the power of the main body in the morning.

Every time 1000 sheets are output.

The screen settings or paper type have changed.

When it is worried that the change of environment conditions has a bad influence on hue.

Before output whose hue is very important.

Especially, you should execute a calibration process at least once a day.

We recommend executing any of workflows described on page 6-5 or combination of those for daily man-

agement of color settings.

6.2.1

Calibration on Color Centro

The calibration is a function to specify the data which become the reference values for the entire system

about color printing and also to adjust the reference value. Therefore, calibration is one of the main operations

of daily maintenance.

There are two methods for calibration of the main body. One is the automatic calibration by the internal sen-

sor of the RU option of the main body. The other is the manual calibration using Color Centro and the instru-

ment.

When you print the job in which the color accuracy is important, or you change the paper type, set the refer-

ence value of the entire system by calibration. When the RU option is not installed to the main body, execute

the calibration by Color Centro. When it is installed, select the calibration method. In addition, fine adjustment

of the reference value is necessary along with the time passage. Determining the necessity of the fine adjust-

ment of the reference value from the view point of the actual printed color, execute the calibration.
