8 When paper advance ends, the system
is automatically filled with ink for the first
time and Printhead adjustment is started.
It takes a total of about 35 minutes.
Make use of this time by referring to
"Install the Software and the Electronic
Manuals" on page 6 to install the printer
driver and the User Manual on your PC.
MEMO
• Charging the system with ink fills the system
between the ink tanks and printheads. In
addition, cleaning is performed to keep the
printer in optimal condition. This may cause
the remaining ink indicator and maintenance
cartridge capacity indicator to drop to about
80 % (the remaining ink indicator may drop
to about 40 % for the starter ink tank), but
this is not a problem with the printer.
MEMO
After you have finished setting up the printer and installing the software and electronic manuals, we recommend performing color calibration. Color
calibration compensates for changes in color from individual variation and aged deterioration of the printer, ensuring better color consistency.
Perform color calibration using the provided Adjustment Paper, which is compatible with this process. For information on other compatible paper,
refer to the Paper Reference Guide.
During color calibration, on the control panel's display screen, open
(settings/adj. tab) and select Adjust Printer - Calibration - Auto Adjust.
The process of color calibration takes about 10 minutes.
To use the spectrophotometer unit (optional) on the iPF6450 to perform color calibration, refer to the "Color Calibration Using the
Spectrophotometer Unit (option)" in the User's Guide.
If you use the color calibration for color adjustment, it is useful to set the function to notify the execution period (Prompt Execution). For details of
the function, refer to "Color Calibration Using the Printer Sensor" in User's Guide.
When the setup is completed, refer to the various manuals to use the printer. Refer to "The Manuals Supplied with This Printer" on page 1.
