Managing Colors
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.
For example, this lets you grasp the color management status (information on the date, time, and paper when
color calibration was executed) of each printer, and allows you to execute color calibration on each printer
from a remote location.
The CCMC color management utility is used to perform this kind of centralized management.
Furthermore, in CCMC, if you are printing on the same paper on multiple printers, you can manage the color
differences between each printer to fit within a fixed range. This function is called calibration link, and is dis-
played in the same Calibration group in CCMC. The following conditions are required when using the calibra-
tion link function.
The same paper is loaded in the printers
•
Color calibration is executed on the paper loaded in the printers
•
The printers are on
•
The printers being color managed support the calibration link function

• When using paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper
To execute color calibration on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper, a Custom Me-
dia Information File that contains a dedicated Calibration Target is required.
As long as you have a Custom Media Information File that contains a dedicated Calibration Target for paper
other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper that was created on a printer (8-color model) with a
Spectrophotometer Unit mounted, it can be registered in the printer by using the included MCT and you can
execute color calibration even on paper other than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper.
This allows you to operate efficiently and at reduced cost because you can perform calibration operations that
unify color tones across workplaces, such as head offices and branch offices.
