Uniformity Correction Tool
Fig 1 Uniformity Correction Tool Process
The Uniformity Correction Tool process includes five primary steps:
1. An operator prints a target on the IJP 2000 printer.
2. The operator scans the target into the Xerox Wide Format 7742 Scanner
3. The software analyzes the print target and makes adjustments specific to that printer.
4. A print correction profile (.urc file) is created and is saved in the Caldera RIP.
5. Any time a job is printed to that printer with the Caldera RIP, the correction is automatically applied, and images are printed with enhanced image quality.
- Using the Uniformity Correction Tool
NOTES:
Ensure the scanner is connected and powered on.
For proper calibration, stitch settings must first be normalized and all print segments must be aligned. Refer to the scanner user guide for more information.
All print heads must be set up appropriately. Perform all operator maintenance prior to printing test targets.
1. Click the Uniformity Correction Tool icon in the Caldera toolbar.
2. If you are prompted to calibrate the scanner, click Continue. Otherwise, continue with step 4.
3. Follow the calibration instructions provided on the dialog and click Calibrate.
4. If you have more than one IJP 2000 printer installed, select which printer you want to calibrate. Each calibration is only valid on the printer for which it is created.
Click Next.
5. Calibrate a base media type. Choose a media type from the drop-list and click Next.
NOTE: You must use a 42-inch size media role during the calibration process.
6. Confirm your selection or choose a different paper source from the drop-list. Then click Print.
Three calibration targets print. The first two are test prints and are marked Do Not Use; the third is the actual target to be used for calibration.
7. Insert the calibration target into the scanner as illustrated on the wizard, with the cyan band on the left. Click Scan.
NOTE: If the target is inserted incorrectly, the calibration will fail.
8. Check the preview image shown in the wizard to make sure the target image is not significantly skewed or cropped. If so, the calibration will fail.
If the preview image doesnt appear as you would like, rescan the target.
9. Once the processing completes, click Test Print to print a copy to review before you save the target or click Skip Test to skip this step (not recommended).
10. If you are pleased with the results of the test print, click Save.
All of the lines should look uniform and any banding issues or head-to-head variation should be eliminated or significantly reduced. If errors persist, reprint and rescan the target to obtain better results.
