N OTE : The EFI Densitometer ED-100 connects to the serial port of a Microsoft Windows
computer and the Fiery server with a FACI kit. Connection to an Apple Mac OS computer
requires a USB PDA Adapter (Keyspan USA-19 is recommended).
You can also calibrate the Fiery using either the X-Rite DTP32 densitometer or AutoCal ™
(copier only). This document only describes how to use the EFI Densitometer ED-100.
The term “EFI ED-100” is used in the following procedures to refer to the
EFI Densitometer ED-100.
Connecting the EFI ED-100 to the computer
The following steps describe how to connect the EFI ED-100 to your computer. You will
need the EFI ED-100 and the interface cable. You do not need to turn off your computer
to perform this procedure.
T O CONNECT THE EFI ED-100 TO THE COMPUTER
1. Plug the small end of the interface cable (looks like a modular phone plug) into the port
on the back of the EFI ED-100.
2. Plug the 9-pin connector into the COM1 or COM2 serial communication port on the
computer and tighten the screws.
If the available port on your computer is not 9-pin, you will have to use a cable or adapter
compatible with your system. For older Mac OS computers, use an 8-pin to 9-pin
(DIN8M to DB9M) interface cable. For newer Mac OS computers, use a Keyspan USB
PDA adapter (USB plug to DB9M connector.). When connecting the PDA adapter to a
Mac OS computer, turn off the computer to prevent the computer from hanging.
N OTE : Make a note of which serial port you use for later configuration of the
calibration software.
Measuring color and calibrating using the EFI ED-100
ColorWise Pro Tools are designed to work with the EFI ED-100, which automatically feeds
color measurements to the Fiery color server.
Once you have connected the EFI ED-100 to the serial port, you are ready to measure color
output and calibrate your copier, as described in the next section.
