Make sure to complete the printer setup (setting up the printer and installing the printer driver). Turn on the printer and make sure it is in the ready state.
B Color calibration U See “Color calibration” on page 11
Calibrate your printer using Printer Linearization in the SpectroProofer Utilities.
C Color measurement U See “Preparing and executing a color measurement job” on page 12
Select a job by starting Preparing and executing a color measurement job in the SpectroProofer Utilities. When you start Job status confirmation on the SpectroProofer Utilities, you can check the status of the current job.
See the online help for details.

Power Supply

This product has no power button. The power is on when you connect the printer connection cable and turn on the printer. The power is off when you turn off the printer.

How To Use

Notes After Installing the Mounter

The following restrictions apply when using the printer with the mounter.
The minimum paper length is 210 mm when using
auto cut (normally 80 to 127 mm).
Only one single cut sheet can be stacked. This
applies to all paper types.
You cannot feed paper manually from the front of
the printer.
You cannot cut four-sided borderless roll paper.
Also, note that the following may occur during color measurement.
Glossy paper surfaces may be scratched or roller
marks from the printer may appear.
The paper may be curled or wavy after printing,
which may affect color measurement accuracy.
If the paper presser holds the paper without enough
drying time after printing, it leaves marks on the printed surface which may affect color measurement accuracy.
For more details, see the printer manual.
Windows
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to SpectroProofer Utilities, and then click SpectroProofer Utilities.
Mac OS X
Double-click the hard disk icon, the Applications folder, Epson Software folder, the SpectroProofer Utilities folder, and then the SpectroProofer Utilities icon.

Color calibration

You can perform the color calibration to keep high print quality with reduced color difference.
We recommend you perform the color calibration once every two weeks or once a month.
