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 spe-
cific TekColor corrections 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 fea-
tures to help you manage the color output
of the Phaser 7760 and the TekColor Cor-
rections 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. Edit 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 applica-
tion within PhaserMatch 4.0. Color laser
printers must be periodically calibrated to
eliminate changes in printed colors caused
by environmental conditions and normal
wear and tear on the printer’s consum-
ables. PhaserCal can account for these
changes and maintain consistent
print output.
The PhaserCal application communicates
with and controls a spectrophotometer
that is connected to your computer. In the
absence of a spectrophotometer, a data
file with measurement 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
Whether you are a creative color profes-
sional or an average office color user, the
Phaser 7760 has a wide range of color
capabilities available. The standard Tek-
Color choices include:
• Automatic
• Office Color
– sRGB Display
– sRGB Vivid
– LCD Display
• Press Match
– SWOP Press
– Euroscale Press
– Commercial Press
– SNAP Press
– Japan Color
– ISO Coated
– ISO Uncoated
• None
• Black and White
Color Calibration Methods
Visual Calibration Method:
Visual calibration is an easy method
of calibrating 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 evalu-
ate 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
