Step 2: Calibrating the Server and the Printer

The first step in the calibration process is to print the off-the-glass calibration chart.

values and create a calibration table.

1.

On the toolbar, click

Calibration

.

2.

In the Calibration Wizard, make sure that the

Print

tab is selected.

3.

In the

as your option.

4.

In the Screening list, leave

Dot 200

as your option.

5.

In the

Media Type

list, select

If you want to create a calibration table that will produce a glossy look in your
printed output, select the

check box.

Note: If you use coated and uncoated media at your site, you should create a calibration table
for each type of paper.

Media Type settings, the resulting calibration

table is for uncoated media.
