You can also acquire color measurement data and execute color checks on printers that have a spectrophotometer unit installed. • Display Color Calibration Status • Execute Color Calibration • Acquire Color Measurement Data • Execute Color Check Display Color Calibration Status The printers connected via the network and USB are displayed in a list in the main window. If there are multiple printers, printers where color calibration has been executed on the same paper type and that paper is loaded in the printer are displayed in the same calibration group. Printers that are in the same calibration group can be corrected to give the same color tones by executing color calibration. When a printer is selected from the main window, the color calibration status, execution logs, etc. of that printer aredisplayed. For details on how to check the color calibration status, see "Checking the Color Calibration Status ." →P.816 Execute Color Calibration You can execute color calibration. Executing color calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears due to individual variations or aging among the printers. For the procedure for executing color calibration, see "Executing Color Calibration ." →P.818 Note •In order to execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper/feed certified paper, a calibration target is re-quired for that paper. Calibration targets can be created on a printer with a spectrophotometer unit installed by using the Me-dia Configuration Tool that is included with printers that support the spectrophotometer unit.Features of Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) iPF6400 User's Guide Color Management Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) 802
Acquiring Color Measurement Data from the Color Chart You can measure the colors of any arbitrary color chart and save the color measurement data on your computer.

For the procedure for acquiring color measurement data, see "Acquiring Color Measurement Data For Any Color Chart ." →P.820 Note •This function can be executed when a printer that has a spectrophotometer unit installed is selected. Execute Color Check You can execute a color check. When a color check is executed, a built-in pattern is printed, the color difference from a calibration target registered in the printer is calculated, and the check results are displayed. Execute a color check when you want to check the color status of a printer in detail. For the procedure for executing color check, see "Executing Color Check ." →P.826 Note •This function can be executed when a printer that has a spectrophotometer unit installed is selected.
