iPF6450 Executing Color Calibration (Windows) Executing Color Calibration The procedure for executing color calibration is as follows. Getting the Printer Ready 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.839 2 Load the paper. (See "Loading Rolls on the Roll Holder.") →P.533 (See "Loading Rolls in the Printer.") →P.536 (See "Loading Sheets in the Feed Slot.") →P.557 • If Adj. Quality has not been executed even once on the paper you are using when you execute Auto Adjust (High Note Precision), execute Adj. Quality in the control panel menu. (See "Automatic Banding Adjustment.") →P.804 3 If a spectrophotometer unit is mounted, select the White/Black Backing Plate color. We recommend white. (See "Switching the White/Black Backing Plate (Optional) Color.") →P.837 • For the color of the White/Black Backing Plate, continue using the selected color without changing each time you Note execute color calibration.
