For color printers, you can set the default measurement method and patch layout. The patch layouts that are available for printing the calibration page vary by patch order and number of patches.

A greater number of patches yields more measurement data, which may produce better results. However, more patches take longer to measure.

• Sorted patches are printed on the page in the order of their hue and saturation levels.

• Random , Randomized, or Unsorted patches are printed on the page in random order, to help compensate for density inconsistencies on different areas of the page.

• If the Fixed Pattern patch layout is available for ColorCal on your Fiery Server, it prints the color patches in a randomized pattern that you can specify by number. This layout is useful if you want to reprint the same pattern that you have printed before.
