  2. Select the Fiery Server in the Select Fiery Server list.
  3. Under Select output profile, click the File icon and select an output profile.
  4. Select a spot color library in the Select spot color library list, and then click Next.
  5. Click a spot color in the Available spot colors list, and then click Add.
  6. Continue to add spot colors until all the spot colors you want appear in the Selected spot colors list, and then click Next.
  7. Select the measurement instrument, patch layout (if available), and paper size, and then click Next.
  8. Specify print settings and click Print.

    Do not change any color settings before printing.

  9. Follow the on-screen instructions to measure the patch page using the spectrophotometer.
  10. When the measurement results are displayed, click Iterate to further optimize the spot colors.
  11. Continue to print and measure patch pages until the measured delta E values are within your desired tolerances.
  12. If an iteration results in higher delta E values rather than lower, delete the iteration and proceed with saving and installing the edited spot colors.
  13. Click Next to install the edited spot colors on the Fiery Server.
  14. Click Done to close Device Linker.
