Stock Management and Calibration Recommendations: • Use this workflow when you are not concerned about small amounts of whiteness differences on stocks. • This workflow provides simple and very quick setup. • It is simple to maintain consistent color using this workflow because only one calibration applies to all stocks all the time. • You, the customer, never need to go into Color Manager; using this workflow, you need only to use the Printer Manager. • Use this workflow if you want to avoid ineligible jobs found in the named model. Setup Steps (after software installation): 1. Open Printer Manager/Paper Trays and select a tray (e.g, tray 1). 2. Select the desired stock size, type, coating etc. and close. Leave the name Unspecified. 3. The same should be done for the other trays with physical stock attributes selected and name remaining Unspecified. Calibrate ANY stock named Unspecified • In Printer Manager: Paper Trays, right click on any tray/stock and select [calibration]. Perform the calibration process. • You have now calibrated and loaded all stocks and trays on the system. Any incoming job that matches an attribute of the stock, such as the size, pulls from the appropriate tray. Workflow Notes: • Any Unspecified stocks are always placed in the default group and use the default group's calibration and destination profiles. • The default group can be changed and be used thereafter by any and all Unspecified stocks on the system. Three Stock Model Setup This set-up utilizes three stock groups to represent all the stock you use. Three Xerox created groups represent Bright White, White, and Other substrates. The purpose of this set-up, as compared to the Unspecified workflow, is to account for common whiteness differences in stocks by using only three groups. 3-8 Color Management Guide
