• When operating with multiple printers
If you have multiple printers, you can make the color tones of the printers the same by executing color calibration
on each of the printers.
Furthermore, using the CCMC color management utility allows an administrator to centrally manage multiple re-
motely 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 col-
or 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 differ-
ences between each printer to fit within a fixed range. This function is called calibration link, and is displayed in the
same Calibration group in CCMC. The following conditions are required when using the calibration 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 Media
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 oth-
er than genuine Canon paper and feed certified paper that was created on a printer (8-color model) with a Spec-
trophotometer 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 uni-
fy color tones across workplaces, such as head offices and branch offices.
