Problem with the printer
Test the printer and service, if necessary (see the service
documentation that accompanies the printer).
Out of calibration or calibration
information/curves on the active
partition are corrupted
1 If you suspect that a custom calibration setting is causing the
problem, reset the calibration setting to its default
measurements:
In Command WorkStation >
Device Center
>
General
>
Tools
, click
Manage
.
Calibrator opens.
In Calibrator, select the calibration setting that you suspect is
causing the problem, and then click
View Measurements
.
Click
Reset
to Default Measurements, and then click
Yes
to
confirm.
If resetting to default calibration does not solve the problem,
you may need to service the printer.
2 If restoring default measurements fixes the color quality, the
custom calibration may have been the cause of the problem.
Request that the site administrator recalibrate the Fiery ES.
For details, see

documentation set.

information on the hard disk drive may be corrupt. Reinstall
system software.

Verify that all hard disk drive cabling is correct.
5 If hard disk drive cabling is correct, you may need to replace
