Operating the System
Sheet Loading and Alignment
You should refer to the online help in the software application for procedures on creating
and selecting color bars. The following information is provided to familiarize you with the
mechanical aspects required when measuring.
Loading a press sheet onto the IntelliTrax is fast and easy, there are no guides or clamps to
adjust. The press sheet is loaded onto the track from the back, and held in place by a series
of vacuum holes.
The press sheet must be positioned between the scribe lines on the track for a valid
measurement to occur.
The press sheet must also be positioned against the “sheet stops” that run along the back
edge of the vacuum plate. The color bar on the sheet must be within 38 mm (1.5”) from the
paper’s edge.

INTELLITRAX® AUTOSCANNING SYSTEM
Measuring with the IntelliTrax System
After the press sheet is positioned on the track, you are ready to perform a color bar
measurement. A measurement is started one of two ways:
• selecting the measurement function from the software
• pressing the Operation button located on top of the docking station
Refer to the online help in the software for additional information.
In the event that a color bar is crooked or fanned out, the scanning system incorporates a
“look-ahead sensor” that takes corrective action by automatically adjusting the scanning
head. This ensures all color patches are measured accurately.
Once a measurement is set in motion, the vacuum solenoid activates and the “green” light
on the station changes to “flashing green”, indicating a scan is in progress. Measurement
results are reported real-time to the computer monitor.
The vacuum pump can be turned off during non-use times by selecting the “Turn off
vacuum” option in Press Tool. Refer to the online help system for further details.
If a problem is encountered during a measurement, the scanning head immediately returns
to the docking station. View your computer monitor to see if an error message is displayed.
If no message is displayed, try to rescan the sheet; if a problem still occurs, refer to the
Troubleshooting section in this manual.
NOTE: You can abort a measurement by pressing the Operation button when the
instrument is scanning the color bar.

INTELLITRAX® AUTOSCANNING SYSTEM
Calibration
Regular calibration of the IntelliTrax system and hand-held instrument is important for
maintaining accurate and consistent measurement data. Normally, the software application
prompts you for a calibration when it’s required. Calibration of either the IntelliTrax system
or hand-held instrument can also be manually invoked whenever desired.
Calibrating the IntelliTrax System
Calibrating the scanning instrument is virtually automatic. A white calibration disk is a
permanent part of the track assembly, located near the docking station. A retractable cover
protects the calibration disk when the scanning head is away from the docking station. The
scanning head automatically calibrates to the white disk when required, or when calibration
is initiated in the application.
IMPORTANT: The white calibration disk should be cleaned periodically to maintain
calibration accuracy. Refer to Cleaning the White Calibration Disk in the Appendices for the
procedure.
Calibration Disk Cover

INTELLITRAX® AUTOSCANNING SYSTEM
Calibrating the Optional eXact Handheld Instrument
IMPORTANT: The calibration plaque is dramatically affected by smudge marks and dust,
and must be kept clean. It is recommended that the instrument is cleaned regularly. Refer
to the cleaning procedure below.
The instrument has an integrated calibration plaque and will calibrate automatically when
required. When calibration is required before a measurement, the instrument will prompt
you. This occurs when the instrument is in the open position (not locked) and the previous
calibration has timed out. This can also occur when the measurement condition switch is
changed and a calibration has not been performed in that position or has timed out.
When prompted for a calibration, locate the instrument on a flat surface and tap the START
button. The instrument will display a countdown screen and then perform the calibration.
Cleaning the Calibration Plaque
The calibration plaque should be cleaned periodically.
Do not use solvents or cleaners of any kind.
The calibration tile is embedded in the underside of the reference holder.
1. Rotate the reference holder (1) towards the back and hold.
2. Blow short bursts of clean, dry air (2) onto the calibration tile. This should remove any
accumulated debris.

INTELLITRAX® AUTOSCANNING SYSTEM
Measuring with the eXact Handheld
The Handheld instrument can be used to measure ink colors and make spot check
measurements as needed. The target base of the instrument should rest flat and steady on
the sample area.
1. Position the target window over the sample to measure. The opening should be
completely filled with the sample color.
2. Press the instrument firmly to the target base. Measuring appears in the display along
with the Measurement Condition selected.
3. Hold steady until “Complete!” and measurement data is displayed. This is an indication
that the measurement was successful.
If the instrument is moved during measurement or is not held closed for the entire
measurement, no data will display on the computer monitor. Simply take another
measurement if this occurs.

General Maintenance
Your instrument requires very little preventative maintenance to achieve years of reliable
operation. However, to protect your investment and maintain reading accuracy, a few
simple-cleaning procedures should be performed from time to time.
For general maintenance of the hand-held instrument, refer to the documentation that it was
packaged with.
ATTENTION: A properly grounded wrist strap is recommended when cleaning, removing or
installing the scanning head.
Scanning Head Cleaning (1 to 2 times a month)
DO NOT use any solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind.
In the course of normal use, spray powder, paper dust, and other airborne contaminants
will likely enter the instrument's optics. This can eventually reduce the sensitivity of the
instrument and may lead to calibration errors. Follow the steps below to clean the optical
components.
1. Obtain a source of clean, dry, compressed air. This air should be of the quality used to
clean delicate camera lenses.
2. Unplug the IntelliTrax system from the power adapter and slide the scanning head a few
millimeters away from the docking station.
3. Lift the access cover on the back of scanning head to gain access to the locking lever.
4. Rotate the lever 90° clockwise.
Access Cover
5. Lift up under the front edge of the scanning head and tilt it back to expose the bottom.
16
INTELLITRAX® AUTOSCANNING SYSTEM
6. Being careful to hold the compressed air source upright, blow short, gentle bursts of
compressed air directly into the instrument's aperture. Be careful to ensure the
compressed air nozzle is approximately 10 mm away from the optics.
7. Carefully lower the scanning head and lock into place by rotating the lever 90°
counterclockwise.
8. Lower the access cover and plug in the AC adapter.
9. Note that the process of cleaning the optics will affect the instrument's sensitivity as
dust and powder will no longer block the optical path. It is essential that a head and
track calibration is done following the cleaning process.
10. The exterior of the scanning head and docking station can be wiped clean with a lint-free
cloth dampened in water or a mild cleaner.
Scanning Track Cleaning (1 to 2 times a month)
DO NOT reverse the intake/exhaust port on the vacuum pump to blow out the track
vacuum chamber. This will force any dust inside the track into the read head optics.
DO NOT use any solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind.
DO NOT use any type of lubrication (oil) on any part of the system.
1. The exterior of the scanning head and docking station can be wiped clean with a lint-free
cloth dampened in water or a mild cleaner.
2. The track should be wiped clean with a lint-free cloth dampened in glass cleaner. When
cleaning the track, make sure to clean the entire track. This includes the portion of the
track that resides under the reading head when it is in its docked position. You can lift
the scanning head (Scanning Head Cleaning for procedure) or simply slide it over when
cleaning is required.
3. Inside the track, use compressed air to remove all print dust.
17
INTELLITRAX® AUTOSCANNING SYSTEM

IntelliTrax Color Reference Measurement Procedure
The color reference measurement procedure provides you with a method to check the
performance of your IntelliTrax instrument. A color reference measurement can be
performed at anytime.
NOTE: Use must have the Color Reflectance Reference Data installed on your computer to
perform this measurement procedure.
1. Remove the color reflectance reference from its protective envelope. Make sure that it is
clean before continuing with the measurement procedure. If the color reflectance
reference requires cleaning, refer to the Cleaning the Color Reflectance Reference
explained earlier.
2. Position the color reflectance reference on the track, next to the scribe line by the
scanning head. Make sure the designated side of the reference is positioned up against
the sheet stops.
3. Start the measurement sequence by selecting the Measure Color Reference button in
the Press Tool. View the monitor for measurement results.
Color Reflectance Reference
Sheet Stops
Scribe line
4. Select the appropriate option in application to start the calibration check. The scanning
head moves across the color reflectance reference and then back to its docked position.
The indicator light flashes green during the reading and then turns to solid green after a
successful reading. This is also verified on the computer monitor.
If the calibration check fails (indicated on the computer monitor), clean the color
reflectance reference and instrument optics as explained earlier, and perform the
calibration check again. If the calibration check fails again, contact your X-Rite
