Features of Color Calibration Management Console Features of Color Calibration Management Console
Color Calibration Management Console is software that allows you to view the color calibration status and execute col-
or calibration on multiple printers. You can also acquire color measurement data and execute color checks on printers
that have a spectrophotometer unit installed.
• Display Color Calibration Status
• Execute Color Calibration
• Acquire Color Measurement Data
• Execute Color Check
Display Color Calibration Status
The printers connected via the network and USB are displayed in a list in the main window.
If there are multiple printers, printers where color calibration has been executed on the same paper type and that paper
is loaded in the printer are displayed in the same calibration group. Printers that are in the same calibration group can
be corrected to give the same color tones by executing color calibration.
When a printer is selected from the main window, the color calibration status, execution logs, etc. of that printer are
displayed.
For details on how to check the color calibration status, see "Checking the Color Calibration Status."
→P.780
Execute Color Calibration
You can execute color calibration.
Executing color calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears due
to individual variations or aging among the printers.
For the procedure for executing color calibration, see "Executing Color Calibration."
→P.782
Note
• In order to execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper/feed certified paper, a calibration target is re-
quired for that paper. Calibration targets can be created on a printer with a spectrophotometer unit installed by using the Me-
dia Configuration Tool that is included with printers that support the spectrophotometer unit.
