8 Xerox Phaser 7760 Evaluator Guide
Advanced color management
Configurable Automatic TekColor
Corrections
Using the Automatic mode for managing
TekColor
®
Corrections enables the Phaser 7760
printer to automatically detect office graphics,
press separations, monochrome graphics, and
spot colors and apply specific TekColor correc-
tions to each of them. Further, you can define
which TekColor Corrections the Phaser 7760
printer will apply to each graphical element on
the page — consistently delivering the color
output you expect. Each Phaser 7760 includes a
built-in library of TekColor Corrections for a wide
variety of output devices, including computer
displays, other printers and MFP systems, and
production-class equipment. The ability to
define TekColor Corrections for specific elements
on the page ensures the Phaser 7760 will print
your RGB, CMYK, and Pantone colors to your
specifications.

4.0 Color Management and
Calibration Software
PhaserMatch 4.0 is the latest version of
color management software from Xerox.
PhaserMatch 4.0 delivers advanced features to
help you manage the color output of the Phaser
7760 and the TekColor Corrections available on
the Phaser 7760. The Phaser 7760 comes pre-
loaded with many useful TekColor Corrections,
but many graphic intensive environments have
very specific demands for their color printers.
PhaserMatch 4.0 delivers you two
primary capabilities:
1. E
dit existing TekColor Corrections
Using the “Edit Profile” feature, you can edit an
existing TekColor Correction and fine-tune the
color output and color matching capabilities of
your Phaser 7760 color printer. You can then
download the edited profile, making it available
to all users of the Phaser 7760 printer.
2.
Create new TekColor Corrections
Starting with the ICC profiles of the Phaser
7760 printer and your intended target output
device, PhaserMatch 4.0 can create a new
TekColor Correction for your Phaser 7760.
Again, you can download the new TekColor
Correction to your Phaser 7760 printer —
making it available in the printer driver for
all of its users.
PhaserCal Calibration Software
PhaserCal is the color calibration application
within PhaserMatch 4.0. Color laser printers
must be periodically calibrated to eliminate
changes in printed colors caused by environ-
mental conditions and normal wear and tear
on the printer’s consumables. PhaserCal can
account for these changes and maintain consis-
tent print output.
The PhaserCal application communicates with
and controls a spectrophotometer that is con-
nected to your computer. In the absence of
a spectrophotometer, a data file with mea-
surement information can be imported into
PhaserCal. Alternatively, a visual calibration
method allows for quick and convenient checks
without requiring additional devices.
PhaserCal comes standard on the Phaser
7760DN model. PhaserMatch 4.0, which
includes PhaserCal, is standard on the Phaser
7760GX and Phaser 7760DX models — and
offered as an option for the Phaser 7760DN.
Tek-color corrections

• Black and White
Color Calibration Methods
Visual Calibration Method:
Visual calibration is an easy method of calibrat
-
ing the colors of your Phaser 7760. From the
printer’s front panel, select “Printer Setup,”
“Calibration Setup,” and “Calibrate Colors” -
step-by-step instructions will guide you through
the process. The printer will print pages to help
you evaluate its color output, and the front
panel will enable you to input values to correct
the colors to match your expectations.
Spectrophotometer-Based Calibration:
The PhaserCal software can communicate
with a spectrophotometer that is connected
to your PC to perform a highly accurate color
calibration. The Phaser 7760 will print out
the calibration pages that correspond to your
spectrophotometer, which are then scanned
and processed within PhaserCal — calibrating
the color of your printer and delivering the color
quality you expect
