You can create a profile for a printer connected to a Fiery server. The Fiery server must be accessible from your computer over the network.

1. In Color Profiler Suite, start Printer Profiler and click Print Patches.
2. In the Welcome window, type the new profile name and select the Fiery server from the list.

   If the Fiery server is not in the list, click the plus sign to add it using the IP address or by searching.

3. For calibration, click the appropriate option.
   • Create new calibration setting - Create a new calibration set for the media to be profiled. This option is the optimal choice.
   • Use existing calibration setting - Use existing calibration settings with recalibration. Prints calibration patches for measurement to recalibrate based on the selected calibration setting before profiling. An existing calibration setting will only result in a high quality profile if it was created for the same or a very similar media to the one that is being profiled.
   • Select Skip calibration only if this calibration setting is up-to-date. (The Fiery server was calibrated recently for this calibration setting.) In this case, go to step 8.

     If Skip calibration is selected, the selected calibration setting is used to print profiling pages immediately without calibration. Only skip the calibration if the calibration setting has just been created.

   Note: If the Fiery server does not support calibration, skip this step and go to step 8.
4. Select the instrument, patch layout, and paper size for printing the calibration page. We also recommend warming up the printer by printing at least 10 warmup pages.
5. Specify print settings and click OK. Specify settings that affect color, such as halftone, but do not change any settings on the Color tab. The calibration page and the profiling page will be printed with the same settings.
6. Retrieve the pages from the printer and follow the on-screen instructions to measure the calibration page. (Discard any warmup pages.)
7. View the measurement results and click Next.
8. Select the instrument, patch layout, and paper size for printing the profiling measurement pages. If you want to measure multiple sets of pages and then average the measurements into one set of data for creating the profile, specify the number of page sets to print.
9. Retrieve the measurement pages from the printer, follow the on-screen instructions to measure them, and then save the measurements.
   Note: If the printer measures the pages automatically, you can skip this step.
10. In the Summary window, check the results.

    Click Average measurements to view all measurement sets and proceed to measuring the next set, if any.

11. In the Apply Settings window, select the profile settings or import settings from an existing profile.
    Note: The available settings depend on the capabilities of the printer.
12. In the Save Profile window, specify the desired settings. Confirm that Install on Fiery Server is selected and that the correct Fiery server is selected.

    The profile is created when you click Next.
