2.2.8.2 Adjusting Method of the Colorimetric Calibration

The Color ID Calibration Chart is designed to be printed in a completely non-compensated
state. Therefore, there is no need to delete an existing Color ID from EEPROM when printing
out a Calibration Chart.
The following illustrates the overall workflow.
 Install the printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R3000 and USB driver for the
calibrator to the PC in advance.
 To prevent inks from settling down at the bottom, remove the ink cartridges, and shake
them four or five times, then reinstall them to the printer before starting.
1. Connect the printer and the calibrator with the PC to which the Colorimetric Calibration Tool for the printer
is installed using USB cables. Then turn the printer on.
2. Start up the Colorimetric Calibration Tool.
3. Load one sheet of A4 or letter-size plain paper, and click "Next" to print a nozzle check pattern.
