This allows you to operate efficiently and at reduced cost because you can perform calibration operations on the
paper you are using that unify color tones across workplaces.
The following procedure using MCT is needed in order to perform color calibration on paper other than genuine
Canon paper and feed certified paper using a printer (8-color model) that supports calibration link without a Spec-
trophotometer Unit mounted.
1
Register the media information using Add Custom Paper .
2
Add the Calibration Target information in Create Calibration Target to the created custom paper.
3
Save as a Custom Media Information File that contains the Calibration Target .
4
Add the Custom Media Information File to a printer (8-color model) that supports calibration link without a
Spectrophotometer Unit mounted.
5
Execute color calibration using the printer or the CCMC color management utility.

Things That Can Be Done Using CCMC
You can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility.

• Remotely executing color calibration
You can remotely execute color calibration from a remote location.
• Displaying the Advisability of executing color calibration
Advisability 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.
• Remotely Executing Color Check
You can remotely execute color check from a remote location. Furthermore, by using the scheduler settings, color
check can be executed at the designated time even at times when there are no people around, such as at night,
and the need to execute color calibration can be self-diagnosed. Color calibration can be executed automatically
depending on the diagnosis result.
• Managing the color calibration logs of remotely connected printers
The 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.
• Exporting Color Measurement Data
You can save the color measurement data of any color chart on the computer by using the Spectrophotometer
Unit (optional). This makes it possible to create ICC profiles for paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed
certified paper by importing the color measurement data for that paper into commercially available ICC profile cre-
ation software.
For details on the supported paper, see the following.
