Using the Desktop Application

In this section:

1. Displaying the Desktop Application
   Use the desktop application to operate the Quick Color Adjustment, Color Sample Matching, and Colorimetry functions. You can also configure application settings and access the help system from the desktop application.
2. Quick Color Adjustment
   Scans a color chart and generates an ICC profile automatically. Use this function at regular intervals to prevent colors on the output sheets from changing because of the printer condition or printing environment.
3. Color Sample Matching
   Color Sample Matching helps replicating the colors of a hard copy sample by measuring them and generating an ICC profile specific to that document and target printer. Manually import the created ICC profile as the source CMYK input profile on the DFE, then use the profile when printing a document.
4. Colorimetry
   The Colorimetry function allows you to create a color chart with customized colors, patch size, and page size. You can then print the color chart on the target printer and measure the output colors. Alternatively, you can use a predefined color chart based on a standard set of colors and page size. The measurement results can be saved in IT8 format and used with external color management applications.
