MUTOH Status Monitor 10 ColorVerify

10. ColorVerify
Printer color reproduction can change over time due to various factors, including environmental (shop
temperature and humidity), age and storage conditions of ink and media, possible lot-to-lot manufacturing
variations of ink and media, and aging of the printer itself (due to mechanical wear). Individually, such
factors may have minimal impact on color reproduction, but cumulatively over a span of time these factors
can lead to color variations that become apparent and potentially detrimental to image quality.
The 'Color Verify' feature can be utilized to aid the printer operator in checking for and isolating potential
color reproduction variations before they become a visual detriment.
In this function, 14 color patches are printed, and the colors are measure by the optional spectrophotometer
(SPECTROVUE VM-10). If the Color Verify was performed before and the measured value was saved as
the baseline, the color difference from the baseline will be printedas a result.

NOTE

 The optional SPECTROVUE VM-10 is required to perform this function.

 Before performing this function, make sure to print the nozzle check pattern to check if there is no
missing nozzle.
 In order to perform the Color Verify correctly, make sure to specify the following settings same as the
setting when the baseline was saved. If these settings are different, the color difference may become
large.
* Each Heater Temperature Setting, Effect Setting, CR Print Width Setting, Overwrite Setting
 Use this function with the head height adjustment lever is in the “Low” position.
 The 'Color Verify' feature is intended to be utilized as an aid to the printer operator in checking for and
isolating potential color reproduction variations that can arise over time due to various factors common
to all printing environments; it is a tool intended to help facilitate implementation of on-printer process
control.
As such, it is not in-and-of-itself a guarantee of color reproducibility or reproduction accuracy, nor
does it negate the need for color workflow best practices.
 Since the room environment (temperature, humidity) may affect the print color, create the environment
in accordance with the environment condition described in the operating manual "8.1.1 Printer
Specification" "Environment Condition". In addition, make sure to place the media and ink in the
printing environment for 2 hours before use.
 In this function, the color difference (dE) is calculated based on CIE 94*.
* CIE94 is proposed by CIE (International Commission of Illumination) in 1994.
 The Windows firewall for File Transfer Program (ftp.exe) needs to be deactivated to execute this
function.
For details, refer to "10.2.15 Windows Firewall".
 The printer model, which was launched after the end of life of VM-10, does not support this function.

(1)Statistics
The statistical information of the measured Delta E* value will be displayed by color.

No. Name Description

1 Measured Value The measured value selected in the list will be displayed.

NOTE

 If the measured value is in the box, the color is stable compared to the colors that are measured in the

past.

 If the measured value is higher than the box, the color may be different from before. For the

acceptance judgment, refer to the Delta E* value.

 Even if the measured value is lower than the box, there is no problem because the value is close to

the baseline.

 To display the figure, more than 3 times of measurement at the same base line is required.

10-9 MSME-A-11

No. Name Description

1 Measured value The measured value selected in the list will be displayed. The box
of selected value will be shown in the different color.

2 Baseline value The box will not be displayed.

NOTE

 If the delta E* values of several colors has increased without big change in the location of box:

The measurement may be failed due to uneven media and / or dust on the media surface. Please

perform the measurement again.

 If the delta E* value is acceptable but the location of box is high:

The printing environment and setting may be different. Or, the media characteristic may be changed

(e.g. the media color / dot gain has changed).

 To display the figure, more than 2 times of measurement at the same base line is required.

10.2. Color Verify

Execute the Color Verify.

Follow the procedures and check the notes below to perform the Color Verify.

NOTE
 The optional SPECTROVUE VM-10 is required to perform this function.

 To perform this function, make sure that the remaining amount of ink and media is enough and follow

the instructions of operation panel and MSM.

 While the printer is in operation, the Color Verify is not executed. Make sure that "Ready to Print" is

displayed on the operation panel.

 The 'Color Verify' feature is intended to be utilized as an aid to the printer operator in checking for and

isolating potential color reproduction variations that can arise over time due to various factors common

to all printing environments; it is a tool intended to help facilitate implementation of on-printer process

control.

As such, it is not in-and-of-itself a guarantee of color reproducibility or reproduction accuracy, nor does

it negate the need for color workflow best practices.

14.1.2 Software RIP Setup

Specify your PC's IP address from RIP.

For the IP address settings, refer to the manual that comes with the RIP software.

NOTE

 When the protocol such as “FTP” or “LP” is specified in the software RIP setting, the

protocol change may be also required. Select “Raw” or “RawIP” for this case.

For the process to specify the protocol to software RIP, refer to the setting process for each software

RIP.

Windows 7 32bit(*2) / 64bit Service Pack 1

*1 When the above OS support ends, the operation on MPS cannot be ensured.

*2 Please use a 64-bit OS and more than 8 GB of memory if multiple printers or 4head Printer

are connected to your PC.

NOTE

You can register the printer up to 5 units. The number of printer that can perform printing at the same

time depends on your PC and software.

The read/write speed will slow down when you run RIP on HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and send a print job

from RIP to more than one printer via MPS.

It is recommended to run RIP on SSD (Solid State Drive).

If you uninstall MSM when MPS is still enabled, the error appears in Windows event viewer.

The error will not be displayed by installing the next version of MSM.

If you no longer use MPS, please disable MPS on MSM.

MUTOH Status Monitor 14 MalueJet Print Server

NOTE

For recommended operating environment, see the product specification of applicable MUTOH printer.

When PC does not meet the recommended hardware requirements, or depending on the resident

software, you cannot achieve the full potential performance of MPS. In this case, try the following

solutions:

 When using network HUB between the PC and printer:

Connect the PC and printer directly without network.

 When using on-the-fly print from RIP:

Change to RIP then Print.

14.5. Restrictions
This chapter describes the restrictions to use MPS and the differences from the direct printing.

14.5.1 When RIP and Spectrophotometer (SPECTROVUE) are used in

combination
If you want to use Spectrophotometer (SPECTROVUE) with RIP, directly specify your printer's IP address

from RIP. After performing the color measurement, specify the PC's IP address to print via MPS.

See the RIP manual for the IP address settings.

To operate the spectrophotometer via MSM, the IP address change is not required.

14.6. Troubleshooting
This chapter describes common errors and solutions for MPS.

The troubleshooting below is based on that the printer warming-up has been completed.

14-22 MSME-A-11
MUTOH Status Monitor 14 MalueJet Print Server

14.6.1 Troubles for Installation

(1) Printing cannot be performed even after the setup is completed.
1: If you use the following printers, the F/W should be updated as below:
VJ-2638, VJ-1638, VJ-1638W F/W Ver. 2.06 or later

2: Panel messages and solutions:

Case 1: Panel displays Ready to Print or Print Ready.

Solution: Check the IP address setting.

- MPS > Connection Settings tab

Specify the printer's IP address.

☞ 14.4.4 MPS Informaition

- Software RIP
Specify your PC's IP address with MSM.

See the RIP manual for the IP address setting.

(If you specify the IP address according to the RIP manual, the PC's IP address for RIP

might be specified instead of the PC's IP address for MSM.)

Case 2: Panel displays Ready to Print or Print Ready.

Solution: If the IP address setting is correct, check if MPS operates properly.

☞ 14.4.4 MPS Informaition

Case 3: Panel displays Receiving.

Solution: Check the Windows Firewall exceptions setting.

☞ 14.1.3 Windows Firewall Exception Setting

NOTE
 The error in Case 3 might occur depending on the network restrictions or resident software.

Check the operating manual of the installed software.

 The error in Case 3 might occur due to the protocol setting of software RIP.

☞ 14.1.2 Software RIP Setup

14-23 MSME-A-11
MUTOH Status Monitor 14 MalueJet Print Server

(2) How to check which Direct Print or Print via VPS is performed:

1: Check from MSM.

☞ 14.4.4 MPS Informaition
2: Check the printer status soon after the printing is performed.

If Print via VPS is selected, the printer displays Receiving and then performs initializations.

If Direct Print is selected, the printer displays Printing and performs initializations.

3: Check the netstat command from the command prompt.
