NOTE
- If the paper you are using is not specified in media type, execute color calibration using the paper where the adjustment type is Common calibration, then you can set the calibration adjustment values for the paper you are using.
- The settings for each media type can be changed using Media Configuration Tool.
Not available media types can be displayed in the Control Panel by changing the settings.
- For details on the paper that can be used when PhotoProPlat adj is selected as the paper type, refer to the Paper Reference Guide .
Paper sizes that can be used in color calibration differ for sheets and rolls.
For details, refer to the Paper Reference Guide .
| When Using Rolls | An unused roll at least 254.0 mm (10.00 in) wide (however, a roll at least 406.4 mm (16.00 in) wide depending on the paper type) |
| When Using Sheets | One sheet of unused paper of at least A4/Letter size (however, one sheet of unused paper of at least A2 size depending on the paper type) |
- To Register Paper Information on the Printer
When using newly released paper, paper information must be registered on the printer and the printer driver. Download the new version of Media Information File from the Canon website and install it.
- To Confirm the Paper Information Registered on the Printer
When confirming the paper information registered on the printer, select Paper Details on the Control Panel menu, and print the detailed information of the paper.
IMPORTANT
- To restore the default settings, set Reset PaprSetngs to Yes in System Setup in the Control Panel menu.
Because paper information added or modified by the Media Configuration Tool is deleted, if you have calibrated the printer using paper with information added by the Media Configuration Tool, color calibration executed this way can no longer be applied to any type of paper.
If you wish to apply calibration results, prepare calibration-compatible paper that was in the original settings and perform calibration again.
Color calibration has two adjustment types, Common calibration and Unique calibration, with one of these selected when color calibration is executed.
The selected adjustment type is determined from the media type that color calibration is executed on.
- Common calibration
Common calibration is a feature that allows you to use multiple media types easily in a short time because it is not necessary to execute color calibration on each media type.
If color calibration is executed on paper categorized as Common calibration, dedicated calibration adjustment values are set on the media type that Common calibration was executed on.
Furthermore, calibration adjustment values are set on all print qualities for all media types where color calibration has not been executed.
NOTE
- The calibration adjustment values are not overwritten for media types where color calibration has been executed once and dedicated calibration adjustment values have been set.
- Unique calibration
If color calibration is executed on paper categorized as Unique calibration, calibration adjustment values are set only for the media type that the color calibration was executed on.
NOTE
- Even if paper categorized as Unique calibration is used, if the media type has yet to execute color calibration even once and does not have any dedicated calibration adjustment values, the calibration adjustment values are overwritten when Common calibration is executed.
