Color Management Using the Spectrophotometer Unit (Optional)
Using the Spectrophotometer Unit (optional) allows you to use much more functionality than the sensor built into
the printer and delivers much higher precision color management.
Furthermore, you can execute color calibration and check the calibration logs of printers remotely by using the Col-
or Calibration Management Console (CCMC) color management utility. If the printer is connected to a network, ex-
ecution can be managed remotely from the computer.
Since this allows the color management status of printers to be centrally managed, it delivers efficient low-cost col-
or management.
