The Features of Media Configuration Tool

The Features of Media Configuration Tool

In imagePROGRAF, the best printer settings for each paper are collected together in media information files in order to
give the highest quality printing results. Settings for Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper are provi-
ded by Canon in these media information files.

Note

•

Canon genuine paper and Canon feed confirmed paper are detailed in the Paper Reference Guide. Any other paper is called
custom paper.

The Media Configuration Tool allows you to perform the following tasks.

•

When supported paper has been newly added to the printer, you can add that media type to the printer control
panel and printer driver by using the media information file provided by Canon.

•

You can customize Canon genuine paper and feed confirmed paper media information files to create a media in-
formation file for custom paper (paper that is neither Canon genuine paper or feed confirmed paper), and add that
media type to the printer control panel and printer driver.
Furthermore, you can also import the created media information file into other computers and printers, and add
media types to the printer drivers and printers of the computers where the data was imported.

•

You can rearrange lists of the types of paper on the printer control panel and in printer driver dialog boxes and
rename them, in addition to other functions.

•

You can create a calibration target for performing color calibration using the custom paper, and register the cali-
bration target in the printer.

Important

•

Normally, the Media Configuration Tool is installed and the media information is configured when you install the printer driver
from the User Software CD-ROM. Use this software if you want to add new media information or edit existing media informa-
tion.

•

Administration of paper information using the Media Configuration Tool should be performed by the printer administrator.
