Automated color tasks

Go to the automated color tasks settings

Open the Settings Editor and go to: [Color]  → [Color calibration] .

Define when to perform the auto gradation adjustment calibration

With this setting, you can determine when the auto gradation adjustment will be performed.

• If you want to perform the auto gradation adjustment every time you perform the automated color tasks, select [Always].

• If you want to perform the auto gradation adjustment after a set time, select [Only if the timer expired]. Go to [Color]  → [Color calibration]  → [Printer calibration]  to set the timer value. It is recommended to set the timer value so that the auto gradation adjustment is performed once a day.

The advice is to always perform the auto gradation adjustment calibration within the automated color tasks.

Define if you want to perform the G7 verification

The G7 verification can be performed after a G7 media family calibration.

Indicate if you want to print the G7 verification report after the G7 verification is performed

You can also download a detailed report of the performed G7® verification in the Settings Editor: [Support]  → [Troubleshooting]  → [Download G7® verification test report in PDF format] .

The result of every G7® verification is retained for four weeks. The latest 100 reports can be downloaded.

Color configuration

Define which media you want to use for the media family calibration

• If you use a specific media most of the time, select [Use default calibration media].

  Go to [Color]  → [Color calibration]  → [Calibration media]  to set this specific media as the default calibration media.

• If you use multiple media, [Use any media from the media family] is more convenient for calibration. In this case, you do not have to replace media in the paper trays.

Define which media families you want to calibrate

• If you have many media families, calibration takes a lot of time and effort. To make the calibration process more efficient, you can select [Media families for which media are loaded and require calibration].

  Then you only have to calibrate media that you are going to use and that require calibration.

  NOTE

  It is advised to put all the media you need for the coming jobs in the trays before printing. This way, you can be sure that all necessary calibrations are carried out.

• If you want to calibrate all media families at once, select [All media families that require calibration].

  It is the easiest way to ensure that all media families are calibrated. If you have more media families than paper trays, you need to perform the automated color tasks more than once.

Define the media family calibration timer

In you want media family calibration to be performed within the automated color tasks, you need to adjust the media family calibration timer.

By default, the calibration timer for a media family is disabled (set to 0). If the calibration timer for a media family is disabled, the media family calibration will not be performed as part of the automated color tasks.

To change the media family calibration timer, go to: [Media]  → [Media families]  → [Edit] . It is recommended to set the timer value so that the media family calibration is performed once a day.
