Introduction

Basic system configuration

The basic system configuration contains the following parts.

■Printer

■Controller

■Scanner.

The basic system configuration has one of the following controllers

■Fiery ® PRO80/S450 65C-KM Color Server (IC303/IC305), default including a

photo spectrometer

■Creo controller, IC304/IC304 Plus, default including a photo spectrometer

■Fiery ® X3e TY2 65C-KM (embedded controller (IC408) for which a photo spectrom-

eter is optional.

■Océ PRISMAsync controller (Océ CS655 and Océ CS665 only) for which a photo

spectrometer is optional.

You can only calibrate a controller if you have a photo spectrometer.

Note:

Do not use the ColorCal / Off-the-glass method as described in the controller documen-

tation.

Chapter 1 - Introduction6

Basic system configuration

Why calibration

The printer is calibrated for a screen at installation and at every next service visit. The

default screen is Dot 1. The Océ CS550/CS6xx Pro will hold on to the calibrated level

of print quality by automatically performed adjustments. In normal circumstances there

is no need to do additional calibrations.

External circumstances, for example temperature, humidity and consumables change over

time. These changes effect the colour reproduction. You can perform a calibration as de-

scribed in this document to eliminate the effect of the external circumstance on the colour

reproduction.

There is no need or use to calibrate the scanner.

Why calibration

Main steps in calibration

Sub-stepMain step

‘2.0 Check the print quality’ on page 101. Check the print quality

Continue only if the colour reference chart does not meet your requirements.

‘3.1 Calibrate the EFI controller’ on page 12

‘3.1 Calibrate the Creo controller’ on page 17

‘3.1 Calibrate the Océ PRISMAsync controller’ on page

2. Calibrate the controller

‘3.2 Check the print quality’ on page 28

The result of the controller calibration as checked in 3.2 normally meets the required

print quality. If the print quality still does not meet your requirements, you can

consider to proceed with the printer calibration.

‘4.1 Perform the adjustment operation’ on page 30 1

3. Calibrate the printer

‘4.2 Adjust the white point (gamma offset)’ on page 33

‘4.3 Calibrate the EFI controller’ on page 39 2

‘4.3 Calibrate the Creo controller’ on page 44 2

‘4.4 Check the print quality’ on page 55

Note:

1 Calibration of your copy process only requires step 4.1 and 4.2.

Note:

2 Calibration of the printer requires calibration of the controller because the controller

takes the printer settings into account at controller calibration.
