Note:

• Support for the original Inline SpectroProofer (ILS 20) has been discontinued by Epson. These first-generation devices are no longer supported by Kodak Proofing Software. They may continue to work, but replacement with a newer model is recommended.
• Support for the original i1Pro and i1iO has been discontinued by X-Rite. These first-generation devices are no longer supported by Kodak Proofing Software. They may continue to work, but replacement with a newer model is recommended.

The following points apply primarily to a Matchprint Inkjet proofing system where a new Mx spectrophotometer is replacing (or will be available in addition to) a non-Mx device.

• Ensure that you install the latest driver software and upgrade to the latest device firmware, if available on the manufacturer's Web site.
  Important: To collect M1 or M2 chart measurements, the X-Rite i1iO 2 requires firmware version 1.0.7, which was published after the device became available. (Download from http://www.xrite.com/i1io-automatic-chart-reader/support/d1404.)
• When you connect a new Mx spectrophotometer, the software recognizes the change and migrates the previous spectrophotometer settings associated with the current measurement task, as needed.

• • If the previous device was unfiltered, the migrated device name will include M0.
  • If the previous device was UV-cut, the migrated device name will include M2.
  • For example, Inline becomes Inline M0, and i1iO UV becomes i1iO2 M2. 

• To ensure compatible color bar artwork for Certified Process for Color Control jobs, recreate existing color bars for the new device, selecting the same characterization standard as before.

• If implementing a workflow that is based entirely on M1, you will need to create all new resources for the media and proofer, including the media configuration, paper profile, DeviceLink profile, and (if used) color bar for the desired standard.

• Creating a custom media configuration for an M1-based 2013 international standard requires an M1 spectrophotometer.

• An Mx-based media configuration's measurement condition (M0, M1, or M2) can be viewed in the Device Configuration dialog box— it cannot be changed.

• When editing an Mx media configuration, you can add support only for a spectrophotometer that supports the same measurement condition—for example, M2 is compatible with an M2 or UV device.

• When using a handheld i1Pro 2 to measure a color chart in M1 or M2, you scan across the first row of patches in a forward pass and then reverse direction for a second pass. In M0, you measure the rows in single forward passes. (The older i1 and i1 UV still require two forward passes.)
