PhaserCal Calibration Software
PhaserCal is the color calibration application within PhaserMatch 4.0.
Color laser printers must be periodically calibrated to eliminate
changes in printed colors caused by environmental conditions and
normal wear and tear on the printer’s consumables. PhaserCal can
account for these changes and maintain consistent print output.
The PhaserCal application communicates with and controls a
spectrophotometer that is connected to your computer. In the absence
of a spectrophotometer, a data file with measurement information can
be imported into PhaserCal. Alternatively, a visual calibration method
allows for quick and convenient checks without requiring additional
devices.
PhaserCal comes standard on the Phaser 7760DN model. PhaserMatch
4.0, which includes PhaserCal, is standard on the Phaser 7760GX and
Phaser 7760DX models – and offered as an option for the
Phaser 7760DN.
ADVANCED COLOR MANAGEMENT
PhaserCal provides multiple methods for calibrating
the color of your Phaser 7760 color printer.
Visual Calibration Method:
Visual calibration is an easy method of calibrating the
colors of your Phaser 7760. From the printer’s front
panel, select “Printer Setup,” “Calibration Setup,” and
“Calibrate Colors” - step-by-step instructions will
guide you through the process. The printer will print
pages to help you evaluate its color output, and the
front panel will enable you to input values to correct
the colors to match your expectations.
Spectrophotometer-Based Calibration:
The PhaserCal software can communicate with a
spectrophotometer that is connected to your PC to perform a
highly accurate color calibration. The Phaser 7760 will print
out the calibration pages that correspond to your
spectrophotometer, which are then scanned and processed
within PhaserCal - calibrating the color of your printer and
delivering the color quality you expect
