Scheduling an automatic calibration

Scheduling is set up in the Proofer Administrator's Calibration window, which displays all the enabled media configurations that you can calibrate with your proofer. It also displays the calibration status for each media. For example, it shows whether a media needs to be calibrated or checked, and when it needs to be calibrated again. When you click the Schedule button in the Proofer Viewer, you can schedule a proofer to automatically calibrate the loaded media at a specific time.

The Schedule button is available only for media configurations that are created for an inline spectrophotometer and the Precision Color Calibration wizard.

Scheduled calibrations use the automatic calibration settings from the Calibration tab in the Media Configuration Editor. 

1. In Proofer Viewer, click Calibration.
2. Select a media configuration created for an inline spectrophotometer and the Precision Color Calibration wizard. 
3. Click Schedule.
4. Click New.
5. In the Name box, type a name for the schedule.
6. Perform one of the following actions:
   • To schedule a one-time calibration, select Once only.
   • To schedule a series of calibrations, select Periodically, and select how many days apart you want to schedule the calibrations.
7. Click the Next Run list, and select the day and time that you want to start the schedule.
   Important: Ensure that the printer is loaded with the appropriate media before the scheduled time.
