  • In the File Name field, enter the file name of the measurement results. If you leave this field empty, the file name is automatically assigned.
      Note:
    • If you select more than one chart for colorimetry with the same sub scan length, the File Name is disabled and the file name is assigned automatically.
    • The automatically assigned file names use this template: chart name + yyyymmddhhmmss, where yyyymmddhhmmss is the time stamp when the scanning is executed.
  • Select Browse, then select the destination folder where you want to save the files.
  • Select whether you want to save the custom verification file. If you select the Save Custom Verification File checkbox, the saved file is displayed on the Add Color Chart and Edit Color Chart pages of the web application, in the Color Space list.
      Note:
    • The checkbox is active only if you select one of the following predefined charts: Fogra Media Wedge V3.0, Idealliance Control Wedge 2013, or Japan Color Control Strip.
    • Select the saved custom verification file in the Color Space field whenever you want to use a color space that is different from the standard ones. For example, use a custom Color Space if the color verification fails frequently using the verification limits set on the Default Settings page with a standard color space, regardless of the printer settings and condition.
  • Select the Lighting Condition out of the following options: M0(A), M1(D50), and M2(A+UV cut).
      Note:
    • If you select the Save Custom Verification File checkbox, the application changes the Lighting Condition value to the value required for the selected chart. The Lighting Condition field becomes inactive.
