Note
•
Even if paper categorized as Unique calibration is used, if the media type has yet to execute color calibration even once
and does not have any dedicated calibration adjustment values, the calibration adjustment values are overwritten when
Common calibration is executed.
•
Calibration values configured by color calibration using the printer sensor and calibration values configured by color cali-
bration using the optional Spectrophotometer Unit are managed as separate data.
Because of this, the calibration values configured using the Spectrophotometer Unit are not overwritten when Common
calibration is executed using the printer sensor.
Checking the Applied Calibration Values
Depending on the paper type, it may be possible to execute color calibration using both the printer sensor and the
Spectrophotometer Unit and to have two sets of calibration values.
In this case, the calibration values that were set when color calibration was executed the last time are applied when
printing.
The currently applied calibration values can be checked using the Color Calibration Management Console or Control
Panel menu.
