Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Click on the Tick/Cross to popup a menu with the following options:
• Calibrate – Begin calibration of the monitor using the current settings and Spectrophotometer assigned in the
Displays application. Once calibrated, the monitor ICC profile is
automatically saved as the operating system default replacing the
previous ICC profile.
Note: When calibrating or calchecking, the Spectrophotometer assigned in the Displays application for either tasks
should be connected and ready for use. If the instrument is different to the assigned one an error will occur, ceasing the
operation. It is recommended to check the appropriate Spectrophotometer has been assigned before using the Calibrate
or Calcheck Monitor functions (see Applications > Displays).
• Calcheck Monitor (Chart Name) – This option will open the Displays application and begin a Calcheck of the
softproofing monitor using the Calcheck Chart assigned to the current Press settings. The chart is named in
brackets. The pass/fail status may change as a result of the check. Detailed results can be viewed in the History
area of the Displays application.
Note on Spot Colours: When performing a monitor calcheck from the SoftProof application, any special/spot colours
included in the currently loaded job are measured and added as extra patches to the end of the Calcheck Chart.
