Managing Colors iPF6400 Furthermore, using the CCMC color management utility allows an administrator to centrally manage multiple remotely connected printers from a single computer, and to reduce the variations in color tone between the printed material output from multiple printers.
Managing Colors iPF6400 Stabilizing Colors (Color Calibration Execution Guide Settings) Color Management It is important to carry out color calibration because color tones change as a printhead ages and the environment changes. This printer has a function that notifies when it is recommended to execute color calibration. This prevents forgetting to carry out color calibration and allows you to continuously reduce variations in color tones.
Managing Colors Using Printer Sensors iPF6400 Managing Colors Using Printer Sensors You can correct for variations in color tones due to differences between individual printheads and changes with aging by executing the following functions using the color calibration function using the printer sensor. Furthermore, you can execute color calibration and check the calibration logs of printers remotely by using the Color Calibration Management Console (CCMC) color management utility.
Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor • Media Configuration Tool (Mac OS X) iPF6400 →P.595 Things That Can Be Done Using CCMC You can execute the following functions by using the CCMC color management utility. For a detailed explanation, see the following. • Color Calibration Management Console (Windows) →P.765 • Color Calibration Management Console (Mac OS X) →P.802 • Remotely Executing Color Calibration You can remotely execute color calibration from a remote location.
Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor iPF6400 (See "Executing Color Calibration (Mac OS X).") →P.818 • Preparing the Printer 1 2 You can confirm whether the paper to be loaded can be used in color calibration.

Paper that can be used in Color Calibration iPF6400 Checking Color Calibration Execution Logs You can confirm information of color calibration such as the execution date and executed paper type by the following method. How to Check How to Operate Confirm it on the Control Panel of the printer. From Set./Adj. Menu, select Adjust Printer > Calibration > Calibration Log. (See "Menu Settings.") →P.648 Print information about the printer. From Set./Adj. Menu, select Test Print > Status Print.
