Timer Based Calibration
Summary
Calibration of the printer is essentially setting it up for optimum ink distribution on paper.
Calibration ensures linear progression of the ink tints from 100% to 1% without a tonal
distortion. Calibration also ensures the best color saturation for vivid color prints as each
paper absorbs ink differently. The user needs to create a separate calibration for each paper
use.
This feature enables the user to perform the calibration automatically by selecting either
“Elapsed Time” (specified time duration to start the calibration process) or on the number of
pages printed. The objective of this goal is to include new button "Configure Auto
Calibration" on GUI and the functionalities associated with it. Also “Boundary window” and
“Copy Count” information are removed.
Background
Previously the user cannot configure the elapsed time and number of pages to print for
automatic calibration (using Inline Sensor).
While enabling the auto calibration mode, Time and Page values for the calibration process
are already defined by the user. Later the whole calibration process is carried out
automatically by the system, and no user interpretation is required to specify Page counts or
Time limits in between. The quantity values are set by default for the calibration output.
Description
System calibrates automatically either depending on elapsed time or on the number of pages
printed. This is helpful to ensure the color consistency.
Select "Calibration/Calibration” in the “Associations” window or the Calibration [ ] icon menu
in the FreeFlow GUI as shown in the below given screen shots; to specify the calibration
properties
