Setting Item Details
Pattern Size Selects the pattern size of the color chart.
We recommend Larger when you want to prioritize the color measurement precision.
Drying Method Choose Ventilation Fan to dry using the ventilation fan or Air Drying to dry without using the
ventilation fan.
Ventilation Fan Configures the drying time and airflow for the ventilation fan.
Time Configures the drying time for the ventilation fan for each pattern.
The number of lines that are dried at one time by the ventilation fan varies depending on the
size selected in Pattern Size.
As the time increases, the adhesion of the ink improves and the color tones become more sta-
ble.
Reduce Drying Time Selecting this check box reduces the drying time.
Once the time configured in the Color Measurement Env. sheet in the Preferences dialog box
has elapsed, color measurement proceeds without performing any further drying with the venti-
lation fan.
Specify a time that offers sufficient drying by air drying in the Preferences dialog box. If you
perform color measurement while the ink is not dry, the measurements may not be correct.
The Preferences dialog box is displayed when you click Preferences in the File menu.
If the number of patterns is small, drying will finish in a shorter amount of time than the time
configured in the Preferences dialog box. If this happens, the drying time will not be reduced
even if the Reduce Drying Time check box is selected.
Airflow Selects the airflow of the ventilation fan.
Air Drying Sets the period between the color chart being printed and the color measurement starting.
If the Dry Separated Chart check box is selected, printing and air drying are repeated for each
separated color chart. This makes it harder for the color charts to become scratched or soiled,
but also increases the time taken by the operation.
If the Dry Separated Chart check box is clear, printing and air drying the color chart are per-
formed once. This reduces the time taken by the operation, but may scratch or soil the end of
the color chart and paper. However, this does not affect the color measurement results.
Position of Ventilation Fan If you are using paper that has a tendency to curl or paper that does not dry easily, select High
so that the paper does not come into contact with the paper presser.
