NetWare Direct Notes ..................................................................... 30

The Splash DC Series Server makes it easy for clients on a TCP/IP or Novell NetWare network to print to the Xerox or Fuji Xerox copier. No AppleTalk bridge software is needed.

For IPX printing from Novell NetWare, Splash creates a native Novell IPX connection from the Splash Server to the Novell server. NetWare Direct delivers print jobs from a print queue on the Novell NetWare server to the Splash Server for processing. Once NetWare Direct is set up and activated, it operates automatically on the Splash Server each time a Novell client prints to the designated queue on the Novell server. Splash NetWare Direct is simple to set up and supports all Novell Ethernet frame types.

When TCP/IP Direct is enabled at the Splash Server , the server becomes a network printer. Splash accepts LPR/LPD print jobs and jobs from TCP/IP print queues set up on Windows NT or Novell NetWare servers. In addition, clients on a TCP/IP network can send TIFF, EPS, PDF, and text based PostScript ﬁles to the Splash Server for printing.

Setting Up Network Printing to Splash Page 9

All software needed for both TCP/IP and IPX printing is automatically installed when you install the Splash Server software (pre-installed on Splash DC Servers). The Enterprise Networking software includes one control panel and four system extension ﬁles, which are automatically installed in the Mac OS System Folder during Splash installation.

Setting Up TCP/IP Direct Printing to Splash

This section describes how to set up the Splash Server to receive print jobs from clients on a TCP/IP network. To do this you need to connect the Splash Server to the TCP/IP network using the appropriate network cable, and set up the TCP/IP control panel. You can then enable TCP/IP print services in the Splash Server application preferences.

Note:

TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk networking can all run simultaneously on the same cable, or on different cables. For example, you can run AppleT alk networking on Ethernet and IPX networking on TokenRing at the same time.

Conﬁguring the TCP/IP Control Panel

Use the TCP/IP control panel to set up an Internet address for the Splash Server. You will need to assign the Splash Server a static Internet address so clients can reliably locate the Splash Server on the network. (A static IP address is required if you set up the server to use the Splash Web Queue Manager option.)

Before you begin, you need to have all address information available. Obtain a static Internet address (and subnet mask number if needed) and name server address from your network administrator.

Page 10 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

To set up an Internet address for the Splash Server:

1.

At the Splash Server, point to Control Panels in the Apple menu, then select TCP/IP in the submenu.

The TCP/IP control panel appears.

2.

Choose the network connection type for the Splash Server’ s TCP/IP netw ork in the

Enabling TCP/IP Printing at the Splash Server

After you set up the TCP/IP control panel, you can enable TCP/IP direct printing in the Splash Server application. To do this:

1.

Start the Splash Server application.

2.

Choose Enterprise Networking from the Server menu. The TCP/IP Direct window appears.

Note:

The NetWare Direct window appears also when you choose Enterprise Networking. For information about how to use the NetWare Direct window to set up Splash for IPX printing, see page 24.

Setting TCP/IP Direct Options

You can select the following options in the TCP/IP Direct window.

Note:

These options are unavailable when TCP/IP is enabled. To change an option,

ﬁrst click Disable.

Parse For Document Owner Name

■

When selected, the Document Owner name is extracted from each print job as it is received at the Splash Server. When this option is not selected, Enterprise Networking determines the user name from the network connection.

■

Append UNIX Hostname to User Name

When selected, the network host name is added to the print job’s owner name that appears in the print queue and job log at the Splash Server. For example, when the user “Diane” prints from the UNIX host “Santana” the print job’s owner name is “Diane@Santana.” When this option is not selected, the print job’s owner name is “Diane.” For most situations, do not select this option.

Note:

This option is useful for UNIX environments where all users share the

same username, such as “root.”

Setting Up Network Printing to Splash Page 13

Restricting TCP/IP Printing to Speciﬁc Machines

The Splash Server can be set up to accept TCP/IP print jobs from only the machines you specify in the “Hosts.LPD” ﬁle. This ﬁle is located in the Extras folder within the Splash Folder on the Splash Server. You can edit the Hosts.LPD ﬁle with any text editor (such as SimpleText) to enable TCP/IP printing from only speciﬁc host names, IP addresses, or ranges of IP addresses. This allows print access control at the individual, group, and subnet levels. Speciﬁc examples of how to set up host names are provided in the Hosts.LPD ﬁle on the Splash Server.

Setting Up a Novell Server Print Queue

This section describes how to set up a print queue on a Novell NetWare server for printing to Splash using TCP/IP. The PCONSOLE Quick Setup option creates a print queue object, a printer object, and a print server if one does not exist. To set up a Novell NetWare print queue:

1.

From a workstation, log in to the server as a user with sufﬁcient privileges to create a print queue (Admin or Supervisor).

2.

From the client workstation, run PCONSOLE.EXE in SYS:PUBLIC (D:\PUBLIC).

Note:

The root directory name or drive may be different for your computer.

3.

Select “Quick Setup.” PCONSOLE prompts you for information about the print queue.

4.

Enter a Print Server name if prompted for one.

5.

Enter Print Queue and Printer names.

6.

Specify the print Queue volume.

7.

Choose the banner type (“No banner” is the recommended setting).

8.

Be sure to set the Printer Type ﬁeld to “UNIX printer.” This causes the host name and printer name ﬁelds to appear.

9.

Enter the Host Name for the Splash Server (the name server address speciﬁed in the TCP/IP control panel at the Splash Server) or the static IP address for the server .

10.

Enter the Printer Name “SplashLPD” when prompted.

11.

Press Enter to complete setup. PCONSOLE prompts you to save the new print queue settings. Choose Yes.

NetWare Direct Notes

If the Novell File Server Does Not Appear During NetWare Direct Setup

If, during NetWare Direct setup, a list of Novell ﬁle servers does not appear when you click the Browse button under Print Queue Info, you may need to specify the Novell server’s Ethernet frame type in the Mac IPX control panel. To do this:

1. On the Splash Server computer, open the Apple menu, point to the Control

Panels submenu, then choose the Mac IPX control panel. The Mac IPX control panel appears.

2. Double-click the Ethernet icon under IPX Interface. The Ethernet Access

Conﬁguration dialog box appears.

3. Deselect “Always Auto-Conﬁgure Frame Type.”

Page 30 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

4. Select the option that matches the Novell ﬁle server Ethernet frame type.

5. Click OK.

Novell Network Number and Node Number Locations

If you need to ﬁnd the Novell network or node numbers for the Splash Server, they appear in the Mac IPX control panel on the Splash Server computer.

AppleTalk Network Protocol Changes

If the network protocol for the Splash Server is changed from Ethernet to Modem Port or Printer Port (LocalTalk), this does not interfere with the ability of Splash NetWare Direct to print jobs to Splash from Novell NetWare print queues. Novell Server print jobs resume downloading to the Splash Server after the Server is restarted.

Print Queue Connections

Enterprise Networking is conﬁgured to support up to three Novell NetWare print queue connections and ten TCP/IP connections to Splash. You must install additional memory on the Splash Server computer to support additional IPX and TCP/IP print queues (about 100K per additional print queue).

Setting up NetWare Directory Service

Enterprise Networking provides native support for NetWare 4.1 and IntranetWare NetWare Directory Services (NDS). This section describes how to create print queues on NDS and how to set up the Splash Server for receiving print jobs from NDS print queues.

Novell 4.x and IntranetWare servers include NetWare Directory Service (NDS) support. NDS is a naming scheme and database that allows a company to put all of its servers and services into one large, hierarchical database.

With NDS and the Splash software you can create a single print server object and assign virtual printers to that print server. Virtual printers can have one or more print queues associated with them. To change the printers or queues, change the Print Server assignment in the NDS database. Splash Enterprise Networking reads the NDS database for the print server information and services the speciﬁed queues. This allows you to control print queues associated with the Splash Server without making adjustments at the Splash Server.

Setting Up Network Printing to Splash Page 31

Setting Up an NDS Print Queue

To create an NDS print queue:

1. From Microsoft Windows, run NWAdmin.

2. Navigate through the directory tree to ﬁnd the container where you want to cre-

ate printing objects.

3. Highlight that container and select “Print Services Quick Setup” from the

Tools menu.

4. In the Print Services Quick Setup dialog box, enter a new print server name or

browse the directory tree to select an existing print server. This name, with its full path (Fully Distinguished) is the name that you will use in the Novell NDS setup window in Enterprise Networking.

Splash ColorCal Notes......................................................................57

This section describes how to calibrate the DocuColor Pro printer/copier with Splash ColorCal. Your Splash DC Series v4.0 Server includes a color scanner that you connect to the server Power Macintosh to run ColorCal. For correct calibration results, be sure to use only the scanner provided with Splash to perform calibration with ColorCal.

Why Calibrate with Splash ColorCal?

A basic characteristic of all color copiers is that the output color drifts over time, producing inconsistent color from day to day, or even hour to hour. This shift in color can be caused by changes in humidity, temperature, and the number of copies made. Splash ColorCal corrects this to ensure that output is consistent over time.

Splash ColorCal, unlike other calibration solutions, is an ideal tool for both business graphics and other less-technical users, as well as for the more traditional prepress users. Splash ColorCal requires no special color knowledge and does not require the use or purchase of an expensive densitometer. Splash ColorCal is more accurate than other calibration solutions because it automatically adjusts gray balance in addition to accurate linearization. Further, it uses three times more color

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 35

patches, with over six times the resolution in critical regions to provide results more accurate than competitive solutions. Splash ColorCal includes an option that randomizes placement of the patches on the page to minimize the effects of print density variations on a page. Splash ColorCal allows calibration on heavy stock papers.

Splash ColorCal provides color calibration for your DocuColor Pro printer/copier. ColorCal guides you step-by-step through a simple process to quickly calibrate your printer/copier for consistent, accurate color.

Once calibration is complete, you can use Splash CMYK and RGB color correction (selected in the Splash print driver), or use advanced features of ColorCal to create and save custom color proﬁles. You can perform multiple calibrations, and save the individual proﬁles for use with speciﬁc printing conditions and print media. Calibration takes only a few minutes to complete, so you can test your printer’s color output and recalibrate as often as needed.

The ColorCal application is located in the Splash Calibration Folder within the Splash Utilities Folder on the Splash Server. The Splash Calibration Folder can be moved anywhere on the Splash Server hard disk. A folder containing the ColorCal proﬁles is located in the Preferences Folder within the System Folder. (See“Managing the Proﬁles Folders” on page 58 for notes about moving Splash color proﬁles to other folders.)

Calibrating the Printer/Copier

This section describes how to calibrate your printer/copier with Splash ColorCal. The scanner provided with your Splash DC Series Server must be connected to the Splash Server before you can calibrate. Follow the instructions provided with the scanner to connect it to the Splash Server computer and set it up for scanning.

Note: Make sure the printer/copier is powered on during the entire Splash ColorCal calibration process.

Note: If you leave the scanner powered on between calibrations, be sure to turn it off and then back on before calibrating.

Page 36 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

For best color printing results, recalibrate the printer/copier at least once daily. If printer/copier use is heavy, you may want to recalibrate as frequently as several times a day. ColorCal runs only on the Splash Server computer. The printer/copier must have 8.5"x11", A4, or larger paper loaded to print the Calibration Target used in this process.

Note: ColorCal calibration does not affect the quality of photocopies. Only ﬁles printed with Splash are affected. (Always calibrate the printer after a service call.)

To calibrate with Splash ColorCal:

1. Double-click the ColorCal icon in the ColorCal folder on the Server.

(The Splash Server application can be running during calibration.)

Splash ColorCal appears.

2. If you are using ColorCal for the ﬁrst time, or if the printer/copier has recently

been serviced, choose Calibrate Scanner from the ColorCal menu. This command causes ColorCal to adjust the printer/copier to compensate for

scanning differences that could affect calibration quality. (This command affects ColorCal operation only. It does not affect the scanning capability of the printer/copier for other scanning operations.)

If you have calibrated at least once before, go to Step 8.

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 37

3. Choose Printing Options from the Splash menu. A dialog box appears.

4. Be sure the Randomize Patches option is selected.

This option averages out print density variations across the calibration target page, and ensures high-quality calibration. For best results, be sure this option is selected before you calibrate with ColorCal.

5. Select Calibrate Photographic or Calibrate T ext/Line Art to indicate the

types of jobs that will be printed and for which the copier should be calibrated. If you select both, you will perform calibration for Text/Line Art mode and then perform calibration a second time for Photographic Mode.

Note: If only one Original Type is selected, calibration information for the other is removed when calibration is performed. Jobs at the server will be printed in whichever mode was last selected in ColorCal.

6. Select Calibrate All Sets if you want to calibrate all calibration proﬁle sets. Or

choose the proﬁle set to calibrate from the Select Active Set menu. For information about creating Calibration Sets, see “Creating Calibration Sets” on page 43.

7. Click OK.

8. Be sure that the copier platen cover is closed, then click Run Calibration.

Page 38 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

9. Select a paper source for the ColorCal calibration target.

The paper size can be 8.5"x11", A4, or larger. If you select Manual Feed you can select “Heavy Weight” paper.

If you select Manual Feed, choose a paper size from the menu that appears.

Note: For Manual Feed, you must orient the paper in the bypass tray so the short-edge feeds into the copier ﬁrst (SEF orientation).

ColorCal prints a calibration target on the printer/copier. The target always shows uncalibrated printer performance—even if you have calibrated the printer before.

ColorCal prompts you to examine the target for printing defects.

If printing defects (such as creased paper or uneven or ﬂaking toner) appear on the target, click Reprint to produce a new target on the printer/copier.

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 39

10. When you have printed an acceptable Calibration target, click Continue.

ColorCal prompts you to place the target on the scanner surface for scanning.

11. Place the Kodak Gray Scale target (provided with Splash ColorCal) and the

printed target face-down on the scanner glass. Allow a 0.25" to 0.5" margin between the targets and the edge of the scanner surface.

Orient the target with the short edge of the paper along the left side of the scanner surface. The Gray Scale target must cover the grayscale patches in the upper-left corner of the ColorCal target. (Place the Gray Scale target facedown on the glass ﬁrst, then place the ColorCal target face-down on top of the Gray Scale target.)

IMPORTANT: Handle the Gray Scale target by the edges to avoid smudging the patches. Keep the target in its protective sleeve when it is not being used. Replace the target if the patches become damaged. Contact Xerox Customer Support to order a replacement Gray Scale target.

Note: Be sure to use the Gray Scale target for this step to produce the most accurate scanning results. If the Gray Scale target is not present during calibration, ColorCal uses default information to set grayscale densities.

12. Click Scan.

ColorCal scans the Target and determines current color performance based on the acquired image. A progress bar appears while the target is being scanned.

Page 40 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

When this process has concluded, ColorCal displays a graphic representation of color performance for the printer.

The Desired Density lines represent accurate CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) printing for the current CMYK color proﬁle selected in the Verify Against pop-up menu in the Set Active Proﬁles dialog box (see page 46). The Measured Density lines show actual uncalibrated printer performance as measured from the scanned Target.

(Technical note: The vertical axis for each color curve is in units of Status-T less the paper density. The horizontal axis is represented as dot percentage from 0% to 100%.)

13. Click Update Proﬁles to have ColorCal adjust color output to match the

Desired Density levels for your color proﬁles.

ColorCal updates all proﬁles at the same time, even custom ones which have been created, so you can use any color proﬁle without repeating color calibration.

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 41

When proﬁle updating is complete, a message appears.

14. Click Verify to check calibration results for the printer (see “Verifying Printer

Color Accuracy” on page 45), or click Done to return to the ColorCal main window.

Color calibration is complete. After you run calibration, you can select any of the standard color proﬁles included with ColorCal for consistent, accurate color (see “Using ColorCal Proﬁles with Splash” on page 47). If printer use is heavy, use Splash ColorCal throughout the day to keep track of color printing performance and recalibrate as needed (see “Verifying Printer Color Accuracy” on page 45).

To exit ColorCal, choose Quit from the File menu.

Inverting the Calibration Image

Splash ColorCal provides a special feature for calibrating to heat transfer paper used for adhering color output to non-standard media such as rice paper, rag paper, or T-shirts. To ensure consistent color output, use the original artwork for the Calibration Target, and activate the “Mirror Image” option before calibrating (see page 38). This inverts the scanned artwork “target” to match the ﬁnal transferred piece.

Page 42 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Creating Calibration Sets

You can perform multiple calibrations and save each one with a unique name. You can then select one of the calibration sets to use with a particular tray. The same calibration can be used for multiple trays. Each calibration set contains all of the Splash Proﬁles.

To create a calibration set:

1. Choose Edit Sets from the ColorCal menu.

2. Click Add.

3. Enter a name for the calibration set.

4. When you calibrate the printer/copier, choose the name of the calibration set to

calibrate from the ColorCal Options dialog box. Follow the instructions described in “Calibrating the Printer/Copier” on page 36.

Note: If both Photographic and Text/Line Art Original Types are selected in the ColorCal Printing Options, you must perform calibration for both modes—two calibrations per set. If only one is selected, ColorCal removes the calibration information for the other when the calibration is performed. Jobs at the server will print in whichever mode was last selected in ColorCal.

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 43

To specify calibration from different sets to paper trays:

1. Choose Color Proﬁle Sets from the Splash Server’s Server menu.

2. For each tray, choose the calibration set to use.

3. When you are done, click OK.

Page 44 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Verifying Printer Color Accuracy

T o verify the accurac y of the calibration process, or to determine the amount of drift since the last calibration, click “Verify Accuracy” in the ColorCal main window (or click “Verify” in the dialog box that appears when calibration is complete). Follow the same steps used to initially calibrate the printer (see “Calibrating the Printer/ Copier” on page 36).

When the veriﬁcation process has concluded, ColorCal displays the color performance results. Compare the Desired Density lines with Measured Density lines to determine color printing accuracy . The e xample below sho ws that measured output closely matches desired color performance. Recalibration is not needed.

If the Measured Density levels do not match Desired Density levels, calibrate the printer again (see page 36).

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 45

Setting the Verify Against Proﬁle

If desired, you can change the calibrated proﬁle Splash ColorCal uses to create the Desired Density lines during veriﬁcation. For example, you might want to set the veriﬁcation proﬁle to CMYK SWOP if you use this proﬁle frequently for printing.

1. In the Splash ColorCal application, choose Set Active Proﬁles from the Splash

menu. The Standard and Custom CMYK proﬁles appear.

2. Choose a proﬁle in the Verify Against pop-up menu.

You can choose any calibrated CMYK proﬁle, custom proﬁle, or Pass Through (standard output) proﬁle for veriﬁcation.

3. Click OK.

To verify the accuracy of standard color output for your DocuColor Pro printer/copier, choose the MajestiK Standard or Regal Standard proﬁle in the Verify Against pop-up menu. This causes Splash ColorCal to verify measured densities against a benchmark MajestiK or Regal printer at Xerox laboratories.

For most purposes the Pass Through proﬁle should be set to “Visual Standard” (the default setting). This selection produces the most visually smooth output.

Page 46 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Using ColorCal Proﬁles with Splash

Any network computer with the Splash client software installed can select a Splash CMYK color proﬁle for its print jobs. This section describes how to select a proﬁle for a Macintosh client with the custom Splash driver.

These proﬁles cause the colors for the printed job to match CMYK inks. Proﬁles with a colored cube on the left in the menus are the Splash v2.0/3.x multi-dimensional color correction proﬁles. Proﬁles with no symbol are Splash v1.0 one-dimensional proﬁles.

■ Japanese Press Inks is a calibrated proﬁle that simulates Toyo inks.

■ SWOP Enhanced is a calibrated, higher dot gain (darker) version of CMYK

SWOP. This proﬁle prints vivid colors on your output, but remains similar to press inks in the mid-tones. Flesh tones may appear darker than normal. This proﬁle is not intended for printing press proofs.

■ Japanese Press Enhanced is a calibrated, higher dot gain (darker) version of

Japanese Press Inks. This proﬁle prints vivid colors on your output, but remains similar to press inks in the mid-tones. Flesh tones may appear darker than normal. This proﬁle is not intended for printing press proofs.

■ CMYK SWOP simulates SWOP press inks.

■ CMYK Euroscale simulates Euroscale press inks.

■ CMYK Enhanced makes colors slightly more vivid in the output. This proﬁle

is not recommended for printing press proofs.

■ SNAP - White Paper simulates newspaper inks. This proﬁle is for printing to

white paper.

■ SNAP - Recycled Paper also simulates newspaper inks, but is for printing to

recycled paper stocks.

■ Uncalib. CMYK Process Inks is an uncalibrated older “ﬁx ed” CMYK proﬁle

that does not update when you calibrate with ColorCal. This option is provided for customers who prefer the older proﬁle. (Note: Uncalibrated proﬁles are not recommended for printing jobs with RGB color to Splash.)

■ Uncalib. DIC is an uncalibrated “ﬁxed” proﬁle certiﬁed by DIC of Japan to

provide the closest possible match to Japanese DIC press inks. This proﬁle does not update when you calibrate with ColorCal. (Note: Uncalibrated proﬁles are not recommended for printing jobs with RGB color to Splash.)

Pass Through Proﬁles

Includes a “Visual Standard” proﬁle for RGB printing, proﬁles that return the MajestiK, Regal, or Acolor printer/copier to standard color output, and an option for uncalibrated printing. When you use a color management system (from Kodak, Agfa, Apple, EFI, and others) for printing, mak e the appropriate “Standard” proﬁle (MajestiK or Regal) the active Pass Through proﬁle in the Active Proﬁles dialog box, and disable Splash color correction in the Splash Color Options dialog box at the Client workstation.

■ Visual Standard provides the widest gamut and smoothest color transitions

when you print RGB colors. This is the default setting for the Pass Through option, and is the best selection for RGB printing to Splash. (Note: For best results when you print jobs that contain RGB data only, be sure to turn Splash CMYK color correction off in the Splash Color Options dialog box.)

■ MajestiK Standard reconﬁgures a MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 to match

the color printing output of a “benchmark” MajestiK printer in the Xerox laboratories in Webster, NY. This setting, used in combination with Splash color correction disabled, should be used when MajestiK is selected with the PANTONE ColorDrive software or the included PANTONE Toolkit and MajestiK parameters are used to produce the most accurate PANTONE colors with the MajestiK, Regal, or Acolor 630/635/930/935 printer/copiers.

This setting can also be used with the Regal or Acolor 930/935 to more closely match the output characteristics of the MajestiK or Acolor 630/635. This can be useful when printing ﬁles originally designed to be printed on a MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 with Splash color correction disabled. This can be useful also when using other commercially available color management systems that provide MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 proﬁle settings. Splash color correction should be disabled when printing using other color management systems. When a Regal or Acolor 930/935 is used with the MajestiK Standard setting, a loss of detail in the shadows may occur with some images.

■ Regal Standard reconﬁgures a Regal or Acolor 930/935 printer/copier to

match the color printing output of a “benchmark” Regal printer in the Xerox laboratories in Webster, NY. This setting, used in combination with Splash color correction disabled, should be used when Regal is selected with the PANTONE ColorDrive software with the MajestiK, Regal, or Acolor 630/635/ 930/935 printer/copiers.

This setting can also be used with the MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 to more closely match the output characteristics of the Regal or Acolor 930/935. This can be useful when printing ﬁles originally designed to be printed on a Regal

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 53

or Acolor 930/935 with Splash color correction disabled. This can also be useful when using other commercially available color management systems that provide MajestiK or Acolor 930/935 proﬁle settings. Splash color correction should be disabled when printing using other color management systems.

■ Uncalibrated sets the printer for uncalibrated color printing. This setting

causes the printer/copier to produce raw, uncalibrated output that reﬂects the current state of the printer/copier.

Creating a Custom Color Proﬁle

Splash ColorCal provides expert-level tools for creating custom CMYK userdeﬁned proﬁles or modifying the calibrated CMYK proﬁles provided with ColorCal. You can edit only the calibrated CMYK proﬁles. To create a new proﬁle, save an existing proﬁle under a new name then modify the new proﬁle. To use the proﬁle editor:

1. Click “Be an Expert” in the Splash ColorCal window. The Splash ColorCal

edit window appears.

Color curve menu

Curve points

2. Select a color proﬁle to edit from the pop-up menu on the right.

Note: You cannot edit the factory-installed proﬁles. If you select one of these proﬁles, ColorCal forces you to save the new proﬁle with a new name.

3. Select a color curve to edit from the pop-up menu in the upper-left corner.

Page 54 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Locked profiles

cannot be edited

4. To edit, drag the curve points with the mouse pointer. Output Percentage

(0% to 100%) and Input Percentage (0% to 100%) update instantly on the right as you drag a curve point.

■ To add a curve point, click anywhere along the curve. ColorCal allows a

maximum of 32 control points for an individual color curve.

■ To remove a curve point, drag it over another point on the color curve.

■ To undo all changes to the curve, click Revert.

Note: The color curves you create with the Expert edit controls are similar to those used in Adobe Photoshop, but cannot be directly exchanged with curves created in Adobe Photoshop.

5. When you have ﬁnished editing all color curves (C, M, Y, and K) for the pro-

ﬁle, click Save.

6. Enter a proﬁle name if you want to save your changes as a new proﬁle.

7. Click Save.

8. If you are ﬁnished editing proﬁles, click Done.

Note: If you edit a v1.0-style proﬁle, the color curve editor plots density (from 0.0 to 2.0) against input percentage (0% to 100%).

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 55

(Technical note: The vertical axis is in units of Status-T less the paper density. The Horizontal axis is represented as dot percentage from 0% to 100%.)

If you saved your changes as a new proﬁle, the new proﬁle name appears in the list of color proﬁles when you choose Set Active Proﬁle in the Splash menu. Note that the new proﬁle is automatically calibrated to the last time calibration was run as it is created.

Expert-Level Editing with ColorCal

This section describes a procedure you can use to tailor color output to your environment with the ColorCal Expert-level tools.

1. If desired, use a reliable densitometer that can read Status-T density to measure

the 20 patches on the grayscale target.

2. Edit the ﬁle “Test Strip Adjust (In)” located in the Color Data folder in the

ColorCal folder. Enter ne w visual density values based on your measurements, and save the edited ﬁle.

The visual density values are the ﬁrst numbers in each line that begins: “Kodak.” The density is rounded to the nearest .001 units and is approximately

0.05 for the ﬁrst patch to 1.95 for the last patch, in increments of 0.10 units. Actual measured values are typically less for the densest patches.

3. Start the ColorCal application, and select the CMYK proﬁle you plan to

modify in the Active Proﬁles dialog box (see page 49).

4. Calibrate the printer with ColorCal as described on page 36.

5. When calibration is complete, quit the ColorCal application and print any

CMYK color ﬁle to compare with a ﬁlm proof or printed material that you want to match.

Before you print, be sure to choose the correct CMYK proﬁle in the Color Options dialog box (see page 47).

6. Start the ColorCal application, and click “Be an Expert” to open the color

curve editor.

7. Edit the color curves as described on page 54.

8. If you saved the edited proﬁle with a new name, select the new proﬁle in the

ColorCal Active Proﬁles dialog box.

9. Quit the ColorCal application and print the CMYK ﬁle again.

Page 56 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Repeat Steps 6 to 9 until you are satisﬁed with the color output.

You can also use the grayscale patches on a ColorCal Veriﬁcation target as a reference for adjusting curves. To do this, print a veriﬁcation target in the ColorCal application (see page 45). The ﬁrst row of gray patches near the right side of the page is composed of CMY colors mixed together. The second row of gray patches consists of equivalent black (K) patches. These two rows should look similar for good gray balance when you use a SWOP Coated proﬁle. To change the data values used to create these patches, edit the “Gray Patches (In)” ﬁle.

To simulate different paper stocks, change the “paper white” by moving up the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow curves at 0%. A typical ﬁlm proof may appear slightly yellow, so moving up 0% Yellow to 0.02 density will add yellow everywhere that can be printed on the page. There will still be a white border where there is no toner on the printed page. Trim this border from your proofs to prevent the appearance that yellow is too strong.

Splash ColorCal Notes

Troubleshooting Scanner Problems

If you are unable to successfully scan the ColorCal target and complete calibration, the scanner could be malfunctioning. Refer to the manual provided with the scanner for troubleshooting information.

If you leave the scanner powered on between calibrations, be sure to turn it off and then back on before calibrating.

Failure to Accurately Calibrate

If, during the verify process immediately after calibrating, the measured curve does not closely correspond to the target curve, it may be that your printer/copier needs servicing. Splash ColorCal cannot operate properly if the printer/copier is printing unevenly or if the scanner is too far out of speciﬁcation. To verify that this is the case, set the active Pass Through proﬁle to Uncalibrated in ColorCal, then print out the full area on an A4 or 8.5”x11” page with 40% C, 40% M, and 40% Y color mix, with Splash Color Correction disabled in the Splash print driver. Examine the printed page to see if the output is an even gray with little variation. If there is signiﬁcant variation, this indicates that the printer/copier needs to be serviced. If the printer/copier needs servicing, contact Xerox Service.

Calibrating with Splash ColorCal Page 57

Managing the Proﬁles Folders

Splash color proﬁles are located in the “Splash Color Data” folder in the Preferences Folder within the System Folder. This folder contains three proﬁles folders:

■ Obsolete Proﬁles contains older versions of the Splash v1.0 color proﬁles.

(If you did not upgrade from Splash v1.0 to v2.0 or v3.x, this folder is empty.) These proﬁles can be used with a Splash v1.0 server if needed. They are not used for Splash v2.0/3.x color correction.

■ Old Style Proﬁles contains Splash v1.0 one-dimensional color proﬁles that

were updated for use with Splash v2.0/3.x. If you created any custom color proﬁles with Splash v1.0 and then upgraded to Splash v2.0/3.x, your custom proﬁles are updated by Splash for use with v2.0 and then placed in this folder.

■ Calibration Sources contains the Splash v2.0/3.x multi-dimensional

color proﬁles.

To delete a color proﬁle, be sure it is not selected in the Set Active Proﬁles dialog box (see page 49), then remove the ﬁle from the Old Style Proﬁles folder or Calibration Sources folder.

This chapter contains helpful tips for successful printing with Splash. For complete instructions on how to use speciﬁc features of the printer/copier, refer to the DocuColor Pro user manual.

Switching Between Printer and Copier Modes

To interrupt a print job to make copies:

1. Press the Interrupt button on the printer/copier. The green Interrupt light

ﬂashes, and the display on the printer/copier tells you to wait. Printing stops when the page in the printer/copier has ﬁnished printing.

Using the Printer/Copier Page 69

2. When the Interrupt light goes out and the display on the printer/copier says

“Ready to make copies,” proceed with your copy job.

3. When you ﬁnish making copies, press the yellow Clear All button. The printer/

copier goes back to printer mode in a few seconds, and printing resumes where it left off.

Note: If the Interrupt light is on, and you see the message “Ready to make copies, ” press the Interrupt button to turn the Interrupt light off, then press the All Clear button to resume printing.

If you do not press the Clear All button in step 3, a time-out feature returns the printer/copier to the printer mode after you ﬁnish using the copier. The time-out interval is one minute, by default, but can be changed in the Splash Server application. (See the Splash DC Series v4.0 Set-Up Manual for more information.) If the time-out interval is allowed to pass, the Splash Server sends the next job in the queue, or the next copy of the interrupted job, to the printer.

You cannot interrupt a copy job to print, then resume the copy job where you left off once printing is completed. To cancel a copy job to print, press the Interrupt button, then press the yellow Clear All button. Printing begins immediately.

Changing the Paper Size in a Tray

Before you change a paper size in a printer/copier paper tray, choose Stop Processing on the Splash Server to avoid misprinting an active job. After you insert a different size cassette, choose Continue Processing to resume printing. Refer to the printer/copier manual for complete instructions on how to change the paper size. See the Splash DC Series v4.0 Set-Up Manual for instructions on how to start and stop the Splash Server.

LEF Paper Substitution Notes

If you are using Auto Tray Select, and you choose an SEF paper size that is unavailable, the Splash Server substitutes the corresponding LEF paper size. Conv ersely, if you choose an LEF paper size that is unavailable, the Splash Server substitutes the corresponding SEF paper. In either case, the job prints with incorrect margins and the image may be clipped.

Page 70 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Note: Although both A5 LEF and A5 SEF paper sizes are supported by the DocuColor copier, these sizes are not available when printing to the DocuColor from the Splash DC Series Server.

Correcting Out of Paper Errors

After a job is active, if there is no paper in the tray, Splash waits until the error timeout expires for you to add paper. A dialog box displays the amount of time you have to add paper. (The Status DA also displays a warning.) If no paper is inserted before the error timeout, you receive an error. and the job is transferred to the Error queue.

Note: The amount of time the Splash Server waits before transferring the job to the Error queue is conﬁgured in the Splash Server application. The default time is four minutes. See the Splash DC Series v4.0 Set-Up Manual for more information.

You receive an error message, and the job is immediately returned to the queue:

■ When you choose a speciﬁc tray in the Splash Print dialog box, and the paper

size you speciﬁed in the Page Setup dialog box is not available in the tray

■ When you choose Automatic tray selection in the Print dialog box, and no tray

is set for the correct size

To print the job successfully, correct the error condition, then highlight the job in the Splash Status DA or Server Status window and choose Remove Hold from the Jobs menu.

Note: When you print to the bypass tray on the DocuColor Pro, Splash waits ﬁve minutes for you to insert paper into the bypass tray.

Printing 12" x 18" Images

The Tabloid Bleed and A3 Bleed page size options print images to 12" x 18" paper. T abloid Bleed prints full bleed for Tabloid documents, up to 11.5"x17.7". A3 Bleed prints full bleed for A3 documents up to 297mm x 435mm. If horizontal clipping occurs for a document on 12" x 18" paper, print it using the A3 Bleed paper size. If clipping does not occur for a document, print it using the Tabloid Bleed paper size.

Using the Printer/Copier Page 71

DocuColor Pro Fuser Web Notes

If the Splash Server displays a message that the fuser web is low, this message can refer to either the fuser oil level or the fuser web for the DocuColor Pro copier. Go to the DocuColor and examine the message that appears at the copier to determine which item is in low supply.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow the fuser web to completely run out at the DocuColor Pro. This causes an internal failure at the copier. If the remaining amount of fuser web for the copier is low, contact Xerox Technical Service to replace the fuser web.

DocuColor Pro Toner Dispenser Notes

If the DocuColor Pro copier interface reports that a toner dispenser is “almost broken,” contact Xerox Technical Service to replace the toner dispenser. If the toner dispenser needs to be replaced, you can continue to use the DocuColor Pro to create color photocopies, but you will not be able to print to the DocuColor Pro with Splash until the dispenser is replaced.

DocuColor Pro Servicing Notes

Before entering the Key Operator mode or the Diagnostics mode at the DocuColor Pro copier, be sure to quit the Splash Server application and shut down the server computer ﬁrst. The Splash Server will lose contact with the DocuColor Pro if Key Operator mode or Diagnostics mode is opened while the Splash Server is running.

DocuColor Pro Failure Affects Server

If the DocuColor Pro copier experiences an internal failure, the Splash Server will lose contact with the printer/copier. You must restart the Splash Server computer and re-open the Splash Server application to resume print processing.

Page 72 Splash DC Series v4.0 Reference

Other DocuColor Pro Notes

A6 Message on DocuColor Pro Status Panel

If there is an A6 message on the copier/printer status panel, the slider bar on the paper tray is set incorrectly. When you ﬁx the slider bar, the job will print correctly . See your DocuColor Pro documentation for information about the slider bar.

DocuColor Pro Bookletmaker Not Supported

The Splash DC v4.0 Server does not support printing to the optional bookletmaker

Using a High-Capacity Feeder

If your copier/printer is equipped with a high-capacity feeder (HCF), you can print supported page sizes and media types through it automatically by selecting Bypass Tray as the paper source. For more information about the HCF, see your copier/ printer documentation.

The page sizes supported by the Splash Server through the HCF are:

■ Letter LEF

■ A4 LEF

■ A3

■ B4

■ 12" x 18"

■ Tabloid

The media types supported by the HCF and the Splash Server are:

■ Standard-weight paper

■ Heavy-weight uncoated paper

■ Hole-punched paper

■ Pressure-sensitive labels

■ Coated paper

■ Single-step transfer paper

■ Transparencies

Using the Printer/Copier Page 73

Setting the DocuColor Pro Printer Timer

The DocuColor Pro includes two printer timer controls that affect Splash printing to the DocuColor Pro. When copy or print controls are used at the DocuColor Pro, the Splash Server stops sending print jobs to the printer/copier until the DocuColor Pro becomes available for Splash printing again. The Printer Rejection and Printer Acceptance Timers together control the length of the pause between the time the DocuColor Pro becomes available for Splash printing and the time Splash printing resumes at the DocuColor Pro.

When the DocuColor Pro copier is set up and conﬁgured, these controls are set for a one minute delay. This is the minimum pause allowed. If delays of more than one minute occur, use this procedure to set the Printer Rejection Timer and Printer Acceptance Timer to their recommended conﬁgurations. If setting these controls does not resolve the problem, contact Xerox technical support.

To use this procedure, you must enter Tools Mode at the DocuColor Pro. Entering Tools Mode requires a password. Contact the Key Operator for the DocuColor Pro or contact Xerox technical support. For more information about Tools Mode, refer to the DocuColor Pro Operators Manual.

To set the Printer Rejection Timer and Printer Acceptance Timer:

1. Quit the Splash Server application.

Splash Error Messages

Installation Messages

Some INITs and control panel devices (cdevs) can interfere with the proper installation of your Splash software, resulting in an error message when you try to start the Splash Server application. Different messages appear for conﬂicts caused by different inits and cdevs.

If you see an error message when you try to launch the Server application and you have just installed (or reinstalled) your Splash software (or any other software), remove any unnecessary inits and cdevs from the Extensions and Control Panels folders. (Do not remove the DocuColor Board Startup ﬁle or any of the “Splash” ﬁles from the Extensions folder; these ﬁles are required for the Server to operate properly.) Restart the Server and launch the Server application again. If this does not solve the problem, follow the instructions in “Splash Diagnostics” on page 109.

Alphabetical Listing of Error Messages

This appendix contains an alphabetical list of messages that you may encounter while using the Splash Server . The recommended user action follo ws each message. These messages may appear in any of the following areas:
