4 Printer Calibration For Color critical customers, Imation recommends daily calibration and recalibration each time the printer is serviced. Printer calibration can be performed internally by using the DocuColor 12™ CP built-in scanner or by using the Spectrocam™, an external measurement device, on the DocuColor 12™ LP. Note: Refer to the Imation Matchprint Professional Server on-line User Guide for complete information on calibrating with the Spectrocam™.
2. Click on Calibration to display menu selections Perform Printer Calibration and Printer Calibration Setup. 3. Select Printer Calibration Setup to display the following setup screen: 4. Enter how often the printer requires calibration. The Last Calibration column displays the time elapsed since a particular media has been calibrated. Uncalibrated medias display "n/a" in this column. If the time elapsed is longer than the calibration interval, the "Calibrated?" column will say No.
5. Click OK. 6. From the Calibration menu, select Perform Printer Calibration. The following screen appears: 7. From the Device drop-down list box, choose either the DocuColor 12 Scanner or the Spectrocam Device. 8. From the Media Type drop-down list box, select the media to be calibrated.

Calibrating with the DocuColor12 Scanner 1. Place the calibration form on the platen of the DocuColor 12 and click Calibrate. 2. If the calibration is successful, the screen display says, "The calibration process was successful. You may now calibrate another media." 3. Click OK to go back to the calibration window. Note: If the calibration process fails, check to make sure the test page is properly positioned on the platen. The scanable area is 11"x 17".
If the calibration is successful, the following message appears: "The calibration process was successful. You may now calibrate another media." 4. Click on OK to return to the calibration window.
5 Adding a Spooler 1. From the Input menu, select Add Spooler. The Spooler Settings window displays. See Figure 4. Spooler option tabs are Printer, Color, Output, PDF, Preview and Summary. Note: In a Macintosh environment, a spooler is listed in the chooser after it is created on the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server software. 2. Enter the Printer Name to which the new Spooler will send jobs. This name is what client users will see when they select a printer on the network.
6 Adding a Hot Folder Hot Folders are folders the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server software “watches” for incoming job files. When a recognized file is placed into a Hot Folder, it is automatically entered into the job queue for proofing. ! Important! Files are automatically deleted from a Hot Folder after successfully printing. Do not place original files into Hot Folders. Always “copy” files to a Hot Folder. 1. From the Input menu, select Add Hot Folder.
Hot Folder Options [ Figure 5 ] i For additional details on the use of the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server, see the ON-LINE HELP, located under the Help menu selection.

Cache Tab [ Figure 7 ] The Cache tab allows you to customize how spooled or RIP’ed job files are saved. Files can be purged based on age, total size, or both. • Select Keep Spooled Job Files to retain spooled jobs. De-selecting Keep Spooled Job Files does not purge pre-existing job files. • Enter the number of days and/or megabytes the Spooled Job files should be saved. (The default is 14 days or when 2000 MB is exceeded.

A Choose Folder dialog box is displayed. Select the desired folder. The Preferences dialog box is updated to reflect your selection.
8 Installing PPDs on Client Machines Once the software is installed, Postscript™ Printer Driver (PPD) installation may be necessary to allow client Macintosh® or PC computers to properly print to the Xerox® DocuColor 12™ copier over the network. Client workstations can be Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows® 95/98, or Macintosh® systems. The Imation Matchprint Professional Server software includes the latest version of the AdobePS driver.
Note: When creating a spooler to be used in a mixed Operating System environment, remember that Windows® 95/98 require the spooler name to be 12 characters or less (alpha-numeric characters and spaces are allowed). 2. At the client Windows machine, either log into the same domain as the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server, or connect to the Imation Matchprint™ Server with a valid user name and password that has a minimum of read access.
Re-adding Printers for Imageble Area 12. Restart the client system. 13. Delete all printers from the client. 14. Delete all files and folders within winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86. 15. At the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server, install the selected image area. (This is located in c:\Program Files\Imation\Imation Matchprint Professional Server\Print Area Setups.) 16. At the Xerox DocuColor 12, install the selected image area. (See Xerox DocuColor 12 User’s Guide.) 17.
Note: If when trying to add a printer, the Imation server requests a password, but does not allow the user to log in as a guest, the Imation server administrator must set the User Manager for Domains Guest properties to a blank password and check Password Never Expires. This allows the Windows® 95/98 client workstation to add the Imation spooler as a printer.
20. At the Xerox DocuColor 12, install the selected image area. (See Xerox DocuColor 12 User’s Guide.) 21. Restart both the client and Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server systems. 22. Add the new printer at the client. (See steps 1-15 of this procedure.) Note: When adding the printer after changing the image area setting, it may take up to 15 minutes for it to show up on the system. ® Macintosh Client PPD .
