Calibration
The Calibration menu lets you calibrate the copier or printer from the server using
AutoCal
™
(automatic calibration) from the copier glass. The Calibration menu also
lets you remove the current calibration. When the Fiery SI is calibrated, a color
correction curve is applied to every color document that is processed for printing.
The copier or printer can also be calibrated at a remote workstation, using an X-Rite
DTP32 densitometer and Fiery XJ Print Calibrator software. For details on remote cal-
ibration, see the User Guide. Fiery XJ Print Calibrator can be used to load measure-
ments and calibration targets on the Fiery SI hard disk. These measurements and
targets can be used with both server-based and remote calibration.
Calibration is based on a set of density measurements and a series of target density
values for specific color patches. Calibration compensates for the difference between
measured values and target values. A choice of calibration targets allows you to prepare
your Fiery SI for the type of job you will be printing to it.
Normally you create a calibration by specifying a standard target to use with measure-
ments that you took or measurements that you previously stored on the Fiery SI. You
can also specify an alternative target to be used with the current measurements. You
don’t need new measurements to calibrate with an alternative target. When you choose
Apply/Overwrite Calibration
, the currently specified target will be used with the latest
measurements on the color server.

PREPARE
FOR
CALIBRATION
:
1.
If this is the first time you are setting up the Fiery SI, complete Server Setup, Network
Setup, and Printer Setup, and Save Changes, before you perform a calibration.
2.
Turn the color server power switch off when the Fiery SI is at Idle. If you are using
autocalibration, skip to step 5.
3.
Plug the AC adapter for the densitometer into an outlet.
4.
Connect the densitometer to the serial port of the Fiery SI.
5.
Turn on the Fiery SI. Press any button and choose Run Setup.
