IMPORTING DENSITY MEASUREMENTS 77 IMPORTING DENSITY MEASUREMENTS This chapter describes Simple ASCII File Format (SAIFF), which you can use to import density measurements from measurement devices into Command WorkStation for calibration. To use your own measurement data from an alternate measurement instrument, rather than make measurements directly in Command WorkStation, record your individual readings in a text file, structured as described in this chapter. You can then import the data by clicking From File under Get Measurements in the Calibrate feature of Command WorkStation. Simple ASCII Import File Format This format describes Status T measurement data for import into Command WorkStation. The three possible file formats are: • 1D Status T density for EFI 21 patch page • 1D Status T density for EFI 34 patch page • 1D Status T density for other pages (maximum of 256 patches per toner) The file format is ASCII and has no tabs. A single space or multiple spaces are used as delimiters. Blank lines are not allowed. Each line in the file represents four patches (C, M, Y, K) of a specific toner value. Comments may be on any line in the file. Comment lines must start with a pound sign (#) followed by a space. (A line with a pound sign followed by any character other than a space has been reserved.) Comments must be on a line by themselves. Each line of data contains five values. The first number is the sequential patch number (for EFI 21 and EFI 34 pages) or the toner value percentage (for other pages). The four values that follow are the density values of C, M, Y, and K of the corresponding patch. Lines are ordered either by increasing sequential patch numbers, or by increasing the toner percentage. For Windows computers, the file extension must be .cm0 or cm1. For Mac OS computers, the file type must be 'TEXT'. Measurement data in EFI 21 and EFI 34 are paper-relative. For other pages, if the first line corresponds to zero toner value, Command WorkStation assumes that the measurement data is absolute and adjusts it to become paper-relative by subtracting the density values of the first line from the remaining patches.

This chapter describes Simple ASCII File Format (SAIFF), which you can use to import
density measurements from measurement devices into Command WorkStation for
calibration. To use your own measurement data from an alternate measurement instrument,
rather than make measurements directly in Command WorkStation, record your individual
readings in a text file, structured as described in this chapter. You can then import the data by
clicking From File under Get Measurements in the Calibrate feature of Command
WorkStation.
Simple ASCII Import File Format
This format describes
Status T
measurement data for import into Command WorkStation.
The three possible file formats are:
•
1D Status T density for EFI 21 patch page
•
1D Status T density for EFI 34 patch page
•
1D Status T density for other pages (maximum of 256 patches per toner)
The file format is ASCII and has no tabs. A single space or multiple spaces are used
as delimiters. Blank lines are not allowed. Each line in the file represents four patches
(C, M, Y, K) of a specific toner value. Comments may be on any line in the file. Comment
lines must start with a pound sign (#) followed by a space. (A line with a pound sign followed
by any character other than a space has been reserved.) Comments must be on a line by
themselves.
Each line of data contains five values. The first number is the sequential patch number (for
EFI 21 and EFI 34 pages) or the toner value percentage (for other pages). The four values that
follow are the density values of C, M, Y, and K of the corresponding patch. Lines are ordered
either by increasing sequential patch numbers, or by increasing the toner percentage.
For Windows computers, the file extension must be .cm0 or cm1. For Mac OS computers,
the file type must be ‘TEXT’.
Measurement data in EFI 21 and EFI 34 are paper-relative. For other pages, if the first line
corresponds to zero toner value, Command WorkStation assumes that the measurement data
is absolute and adjusts it to become paper-relative by subtracting the density values of the first
line from the remaining patches.
