You can profile a printer that is not connected to a Fiery server or Fiery XF server or that has a
color space other than CMYK by using the Save as PDF
option.
Instead of printing the patch pages in Fiery Printer Profiler, you save them to a
PDF file, and then you print the PDF file manually before you can measure the patch
pages in Fiery Printer Profiler.
