Calibrating the spectrophotometer

For the best color accuracy, you should calibrate the X-Rite DTP41 spectrophotometer
every time you calibrate the ColorPASS. You initiate the calibration sequence in
ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator as part of the process of ColorPASS calibration. The
computer may also prompt you that it is necessary to calibrate the spectrophotometer.
Alternately, you can initiate the DTP41 calibration process using the Instrument
button on the DTP41. See the Instrument Operator's Manual that came with the
X-Rite DTP41 for more information on this method.
Multiple users can be connected to one ColorPASS server with ColorWise Pro Tools,
but only one user at a time can use the Calibrator module. An error message appears if
you try to calibrate when another user is already using ColorWise Pro Tools to
calibrate.
ColorWise Pro Tools for Windows and Mac OS computers are fundamentally

the same; differences are noted in this chapter. The screens and dialog boxes you see
illustrated here are the Windows version.
You will need the Color Reflection Reference strip included with the
spectrophotometer. Remove the strip from its protective envelope, handling it only by
the edges. Keep the strip free of dust and smudges and always store it in the protective
envelope.
