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

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.

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

3. Follow the calibration instructions provided on the dialog and click

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

5. Calibrate a base media type. Choose a media type from the drop-list and click

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

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

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.

. Otherwise, continue with step 4.

If the preview image doesn’t appear as you would like, rescan the target.

9. Once the processing completes, click

10. If you are pleased with the results of the test print, click

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.

The Basic Copy tab contains the following copy functions:

Reduce/Enlarge

Default – Auto

When Auto is selected for both Reduction/Enlargement and Output Size, the copy will print the same size as the original.

Users can select one of the reduction/enlargement presets or enter a custom value via the buttons shown left.

Original Type

Four original types are available:

1-bit monochrome mode. All data is either black or white with no dither pattern. This mode offers the fastest scan speeds.

Once a document is scanned, adjustments must be made in the Image Adjustment tab in order to enhance the document.

Output Size

Default – Auto

With Auto selected for both Output Size and Reduction/Enlargement, the copy will print the same size as the original. When Reduction/Enlargement is left on Auto and the Output size is changed, the copy size will automatically scale to the selected output size.

The list of output print sizes will change according to the printer selected and whatever print sizes were enabled when the printer was configured in the Manage Printers window of the Accxes Copy Touch system.

Sure Scan

Start

Clear

Default – Enabled

Sure Scan mode helps achieve the best results first time, minimising waste and paper handling. Sure Scan can be disabled by un-checking the Sure Scan box.

Sure Scan provides maximum productivity by enabling the operator to scan the document just once and then perform all or any one of the following:

• Adjust image quality with on-screen preview of the entire scan

• Print a sample copy at a smaller size before committing to all required copies

• Print copies at various sizes, quality settings and on various printers

• Create copies and save to file

• No rescan is needed to perform any of the above tasks

With Sure Scan enabled, documents are scanned and previewed on-screen. Settings can be changed as required.

To print a copy, select the green

button. Alternatively, scanning the next document will automatically print the currently previewed document at whatever copy settings are currently selected.

The process of changing settings then selecting the green button can be repeated as many times as required.

To clear the document from memory, select the yellow

button on the UI, or scan the next

document.

With Sure Scan disabled the system behaves like a traditional copier. Copies will be sent to print immediately after scanning using whatever copy settings are currently selected.
