The output of a printer changes over time and under different printing conditions. Calibration helps to ensure consistent and reliable output.

Calibration measures current output densities and then adjusts print jobs to achieve the desired output densities (the calibration target or calibration goal). The calibration applied to a job is associated with the particular output profile that is used for the job.

Changing calibration may affect all jobs for all users, so try to limit the number of people authorized to perform calibration.

Only one user at a time can use Calibrator. If you try to calibrate when another user is using Calibrator, an error message appears.
