Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery X12 产品宣传页

Calibrating the Fiery ensures consistent, reliable color output. You can calibrate the 
Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools using an X-Rite DTP32 automatic scanning 
densitometer (available as an option). By connecting the densitometer to the serial port 
on your computer, you can quickly measure color patches and download 
measurements to the Fiery. You can also obtain measurements from the copier’s built-
in scanner and calibrate using AutoCal2 which does not require the use of a 
densitometer and can be run from ColorWise Pro Tools or from the Control Panel. 

See Chapter 1 for information on the differences in color management support 

between the PostScript driver and the PCL driver.

This chapter explains how calibration works and provides instructions for all 
calibration procedures. Calibrating with ColorWise Pro Tools is described on 
page 3-9; calibrating from the Fiery Control Panel with AutoCal2 is described on 
page 3-15.

For information on advanced calibration and simulation features available with 
ColorWise Pro Tools, such as editing profiles and creating custom profiles, see 
Chapter 4. A format for inputting color measurements from other densitometers is 
described in Appendix C.

The procedures described in Chapters 3 and 4 are fundamentally the same for 
Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers, including those running 
Command WorkStation software. The main differences are the interface cable and the 
port used to connect to the densitometer. 

The term computer is used to refer to any computer running 

ColorWise Pro Tools.

Calibration generates curves that adjust for the difference between the actual toner 
densities (measurements) and the response expected by the output profile.

• Measurements represent the actual color behavior of the copier.

• Calibration sets are sets of measurements.
