2-5 Using Calibrator

All of these pages include fully saturated color patches and pale tints of cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black. Images with skin tones offer a very good basis for comparison. Save
and compare pages you printed at different times. If there is a noticeable change in
appearance, calibrate the Fiery X3e.
When you examine the Test Page, all color patches should be visible, even though they
may be very faint in the five percent and two percent range. Each color's patch set
should show uniform gradation from patch to patch as the color lightens from 100
percent to zero percent.
If the solid density patches (100% cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) look less saturated
with time, show the pages to your copier service technician to determine whether
adjusting the copier can improve output.

Checking calibration status

To verify whether the Fiery X3e is calibrated, which calibration set and output profile
were used, and when the copier was last calibrated:
• Print a Configuration page or Test Page from the Control Panel or
Command WorkStation.
• Select a calibration set in Calibrator—the last calibration and the user who
performed it are displayed.
