| |
| This Color Application
Note describes the procedure to replace the internal ICC (International
Color Consortium) profiles on the magicolor 6100.
|
| |
| Requirements |
| magicolor 6100 |
| Internal Hard Disk |
| FTP Client or CrownAdmin Utility |
| ICC Output Profile |
| |
| Restrictions |
| This procedure
is currently limited to magicolor 6100 printers with internal hard
disks. |
| |
| Note: KONICA MINOLTA
does not provide the software or instructions to create new ICC destination
profiles, but does provide the instructions to replace the resident
ICC profiles. ColorBlind Professional and ColorBlind Matchbox are
two software packages by ITEC Color Solutions that allow the creation
of ICC profiles. |
| |
| Overview |
| The magicolor 6100 has the ability to substitute
ICC output profiles downloaded to its internal hard disk, for any
or all of the four ICC destination profiles resident in the printer’s
ROM. The four destination profiles represent the two resolutions (600x600
and 1200x1200 dpi), and the two types of halftones (standard and AGFA
Balanced Screening), available for color management on the printer.
Color management is not available for 300 dpi resolution. |
| Instructions |
| To substitute new profiles for the
internal destination profiles, |
| 1) Create an ICC output profile
that describes the new color space of your magicolor 6100. |
| 2) Rename the created profile
following a standard 8.3 filename/extension, using the examples listed
below for their corresponding resolution. |
| C1PCMYK.ICC 600x600 destination profile (standard
halftone) |
| C3PCMYK.ICC 1200x1200 destination profile (standard
halftone) |
| A1PCMYK.ICC
600x600 destination profile (AGFA ABS halftone) |
| A3PCMYK.ICC
1200x1200 destination profile (AGFA
ABS halftone) |
| 3) Identify the current image mode
by selecting Mode from the Image menu. The Image menu will not be
available unless you have a file opened in Photoshop. |
| FTP Client |
| You must first have a specified IP address on
your printer and on your host system in order to proceed. |
| 1) Launch your FTP client and
set the client for binary transfer. |
| 2) Select the /USR directory
(cd usr) and download your destination profile. You will not be able
to use the DIR or LS commands from your client when connecting to
the printer. |
| 3) After the file has been downloaded,
turn off the printer and then restart it to register the new profile.
After rebooting, your printer uses the downloaded profile instead
of the profile resident in ROM. |
| CrownAdmin Printer Utility Software |
| To use CrownAdmin
to load new profiles |
| 1) Launch the CrownAdmin application and
select the printer. |
| 2) Access the Printer menu and select PS
Utilities. |
| 3)
Enter “ADMIN” as the password. |
| 4) From the Download Tab, choose your destination
profiles by clicking the Local Files… button and selecting the
correct file. |
| 5) Set the Remote Path field to “SYS:/USR”. |
| 6) Choose Download to send the new destination
profile to the printer. |
| 7) Turn off the
printer and restart it after the file has been downloaded to correctly
register the new profile. After rebooting, your printer uses the downloaded
profile instead of the profile resident in ROM. |
| Verify that the download was successful by using
telnet or the printer keypad to print a CMM Profile page. The CMM
Profile page provides a list of current profiles in ROM and on the
hard disk. (Administration/Special Pages/CMM Profile Page/Yes).
