3.1 Calibrate the EFI controller

Introduction

The external controller is either an EFI (IC303/IC305/IC408), a Creo (IC304/IC304Plus)
or an Océ PRISMAsync controller. This procedure describes the calibration of the EFI
controller. In case of an IC408 controller you must use CWS on a remote PC. Before
you can calibrate the EFI controller you must print the calibration chart.
