ing of component jobs.

ally selected and calibrated.

the ColorSpan 5400UV Series printers.
• NEW Microsoft Windows Vista support — this version can be installed on the Microsoft Windows Vista operat-
ing system, and supports print jobs sent from Windows Vista client workstations.
• NEW DisplayMaker support — this version supports printing with color profiles for the DisplayMaker UVR, UVX,
and SI printer products.
• NEW Color profile creation now supports the onboard camera — you can now create and linearize color pro-
files using only the onboard photodiode (“camera”), without an external spectrophotometer device (except pro-
files for 3M inks, which must be created with an external device.)
When profiling sheet-fed media with the camera, it will be necessary to change sheets during the profile creation
process. See the control panel for instructions. Typically, two 48x48 inch sheets are needed for the ColorSpan
9840UV, and up to three sheets for the 5400UV Series, including the ink limit and verification prints.
