Outputting the Density Balance Chart

There are four types of spectrophotometers to read the chart.

  • i1-iSisXL
    i1-Pro/i1-Pro2
    FD-5 BT
    FD-9

  • Each of i1-iSisXL, FD-9 and i1-Pro/i1-Pro2 provides two types of charts: Type 1 for standard adjustment and Type 2 for high-accuracy adjustment. FD-5 BT provides three types of charts: Type 1 for standard adjustment, Type 2 for high-accuracy adjustment, and Type 3 for high-accuracy adjustment in strip measurement.

    Output a chart to which the screen type that has been set by the machine was applied.

    Before outputting the chart, an appropriate screen and paper must be selected.

  • [Stochastic], however, cannot be selected to output a chart.

  1. Press [Adjustment] on the [MACHINE] screen to display the [Adjustment Menu] screen.

  2. Press [Density Balance Adjustment] and [Density Balance Chart Output] in sequence.

  3. Select the desired spectrophotometer and chart type, and press [Print Mode].

    • [Type 1] is for standard adjustment, and both [Type 2] and [Type 3] are for high-accuracy adjustment.

    • To use the Spectrophotometer i1-iSisXL or Spectrophotometer FD-9, select [Type 1] or [Type 2] in [Measure Spectrophotometer-1 (i1-iSisXL/FD-9)].

    • To use the Spectrophotometer i1-Pro/i1-Pro2, select [Type 1] or [Type 2] in [Measure Spectrophotometer-2 (i1-Pro/i1-Pro2)].

    • To use the Spectrophotometer FD-5 BT, select [Type 1], [Type 2], or [Type 3] in [Measure Spectrophotometer-3 (FD-5 BT)].

  4. Press [Quality Adj.].

  5. Press [] on the right side of [Screen Pattern] to display the desired screen.

    • If necessary, you can press [Screen Pattern] to display the [Screen Pattern] screen and select any screen. Select a screen, and press [OK].

    • Load 12 18 , SRA3 , 11 17 , or A3 paper in a tray, then select that tray.

  7. Press Start on the control panel.

    A test chart is printed.

    • If [Type 1] is selected for [Measure Spectrophotometer-1 (i1-iSisXL)] in step 3, one sheet is output. If [Type 2] is selected, two sheets are output.

    • For [Measure Spectrophotometer-2 (i1-Pro/i1-Pro2)], one sheet of chart is output with either of [Type 1] or [Type 2] selected.

    • For [Measure Spectrophotometer-3 (FD-5 BT)], one sheet of chart is output with any one of [Type 1], [Type 2], or [Type 3] selected.

  8. Press [Exit PrintMode].

    The screen returns to the [Density Balance Chart Output] screen.

  9. Press [Return].
