Create a verification schedule

Schedule a verification to notify press operators when to conduct color verification from the Fiery ColorGuard Client application.

Before you begin, do the following:

Identify the Verification preset you want to use.

Verification presets specify the reference color space and the tolerances for the verification test. Select the preset for your preferred CMYK reference (such as FOGRA or GRACoL) and the tolerance setting.
Identify the Job properties server preset of the printer you want to use.

Server presets specify the group of job properties that will be used for the scheduled verifications. You must create a server preset in Fiery Command WorkStation to ensure ideal color output. For more information on creating a server preset, see Fiery Command WorkStation Help.

After you create the server preset, select it in the ColorGuard Web application to match the job properties of the production workflow you want to verify.

In the ColorGuard Web application, do one of the following:
- Navigate to your desired printer and click Create Schedule in the Verification Schedule pane.
- Navigate to the Schedules tab by clicking and then click Create New Schedule.
Select Verification.
In the Name field, type a name for the new schedule.
Select the Device to be included in the verification schedule.
If you chose to set up a verification schedule for the selected printer, the printer will be listed in the Device menu.
(Optional) Select the Automatically verify with the inline measurement instrument check box to enable additional options.
- Number of warm-up pages printed before verification
- Apply recalibration in case of failed verification
Depending on the printer, you also have these options:
- Apply light engine calibration before verification
- Apply full engine calibration in case of failed verification

Choose the Job properties server preset appropriate for the verification schedule.
To ensure ideal color output, use your preferred server preset.
Select a preset from the Verification Preset menu.
Click Next.
Specify when the color verification occurs.
(Optional) Under Notifications, click Add Recipient to send email notifications to the intended recipients to notify them of specified events, for example, a successful verification.
Email recipients do not need a Fiery Account to receive notifications of verification events.
Click Done.
