Choosing a Calibration Mode
The IC-301 print controller provides you with two calibration
modes:
• Off-the-glass: Uses the scanner platen to perform off-the-glass
calibration
• Densitometer: Uses the DTP34 densitometer, which is a “high
speed”color measurement instrument, to report densitometer
and dot data
You select the calibration mode in the Preferences window, see
Calibration Device on page 148.
Calibration Process
This section describes the off-the glass calibration process. If you
want to use the DTP34 densitometer to calibrate, refer to the
X-Rite
DTP34 Densitometer Operator’s Manual
and follow the IC-301
print controller calibration wizard

Note: It is recommended that:
1. After you perform the first calibration, you print the
IQ_Test_(TAB/A3).pdf
file from the D:\Sample_Files\(USA/Europe)\IQ Files folder. Each time
you calibrate, use this file as a visual reference to verify that the printer has
returned to its start point.
2. You calibrate both the printer and scanner at the same time. If you only
place the print chart on the platen, the printer is calibrated. If you only place
the scanner chart on the platen, the scanner is calibrated.
