• Media Configuration Tool (Mac OS X) ➔P.581Things That Can Be Done Using CCMCYou can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility.For a detailed explanation, see the following.• Color Calibration Management Console (Windows) ➔P.809• Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) ➔P.848• Remotely Executing Color CalibrationYou can remotely execute color calibration from a remote location.• Displaying the Advisability of executing color calibrationAdvisability of executing color calibration is displayed as a progress bar. This allows you to manage color effi-ciently because you can visually check roughly how long until color calibration is executed next.• Managing the color calibration logs of remotely connected printersThe printer calibration logs are displayed in a list, making it possible to grasp the color management status of mul-tiple remotely connected printers.This makes it possible for administrators to identify, execute, and manage printers that require color calibration,and makes administrative work more efficient.Color Calibration Using the Printer SensorColor Calibration Using the Printer SensorFeatures of Color Calibration Using the Printer SensorColor calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears when printingdue to individual variations or aging among the printers.Executing color calibration with the printer sensor will print a test pattern (built into the printer) that is then read auto-matically by the printer sensor.By this operation, calibration adjustment values reflecting the print result of the test pattern are set automatically.Important• In order to increase the color stability precision when executing color calibration, maintain a constant temperature and hu-midity environment each time within the range of temperatures of 15 to 30°C and within the range of humidities of 40 to 60%.Executing color calibration under various temperature and humidity conditions may prevent the printer from making the cor-rect adjustments.• Before color calibration, ensure the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.If the printer is exposed to strong sources of light, correct adjustment may not be possible.Note• When executing color calibration using paper such as LW Gloss Proof and LW Matte Proof in which thin wrinkles occureasily, set Head Height to Low and VacuumStrngth to Weak.(See "Troubleshooting Paper Abrasion and Blurry Images.") ➔ P.769(See "Adjusting the Vacuum Strength.") ➔ P.777Recommend Timing for Color CalibrationWe recommend color calibration in the following situations.• After initial printer installation• After Printhead replacement• If colors seem different from before, despite using the same printing environment, under the same conditions• To ensure uniform colors when printing on multiple printers (however, be sure to use the same version of firmwareand printer driver, under the same settings)• When the Execution Guide is displayed (Specifying Execution Guide ➔P.795 )iPF6400S Color Calibration Using the Printer SensorUser's GuideColor Management Color Calibration793
