Calibration from the printer control panel
You can calibrate the Fiery ES from the printer control panel with ColorCal, without using Command WorkStation.
When you calibrate from the printer control panel, the measurements are applied to the calibration setting
associated with the default output profile that is selected in Color Setup.
If an Administrator or Operator password has been set, you will need it to perform calibration from the printer
control panel.
It is also possible to remove calibration measurements (and restore the default measurements) from the Fiery ES
using the printer control panel. In general, it is not necessary, because any new calibration replaces the existing one if
the same calibration setting is selected. Removing calibration affects all calibration settings.
Calibrate the Fiery ES from the printer control panel
To calibrate the Fiery ES, you print a page that contains color patches and use the printer's scanner to measure the
color patches. The measured values are saved and used for the calibration setting associated with the media that the
page was printed on.
1 When the printer is Idle, press Controller on the Machine tab to enter the Fiery Color Server display.
2
Log in as an administrator.
3 Press the Tools tab, and then press Calibrate.
4 Choose the paper source for the measurement page and press Print.
The ColorCal Calibration page is comprised of swatches of color that are measured by the printer’s scanner and
then compared to the target color values.
If scanner calibration is enabled for the Fiery ES in Calibrator preferences (in Command WorkStation), a
ColorCal Scanner page is printed as well as the ColorCal Calibration page.
We recommend that you always calibrate the scanner before calibrating the Fiery ES.
5
Retrieve the printed pages.
6
If a ColorCal Scanner page was printed, place the grayscale strip and Color Control patches according to the
instructions on the page, and press Measure to initiate the scan.
7 When the display indicates that the measurement was successful, press Continue.
8
Follow the instructions on the screen and on the ColorCal Calibration page to place the page on the glass platen
along with the grayscale strip, and press Measure to initiate the scan.
9 When the display indicates that the measurement was successful, press Continue.
10 Optionally, press Test Print to print a test page.
You can examine the test page to decide if the calibration is successful.
