Create a benchmark verification schedule

Create a benchmark verification schedule to notify press operators when to conduct a benchmark verification from the EFI ColorGuard desktop application.

You should know:

The Job Property Preset of the printer you want to use.

Job property presets specify the group of job properties that will be used for the scheduled benchmark verification. Select the preset that matches the job properties of the production workflow you want to verify.

  1. In the EFI ColorGuard application, do one of the following:
    • Navigate to your desired printer on the Dashboard and click Create Schedule in the Verification Schedule pane.
    • Navigate to the Schedules tab by clicking and then click Create New Schedule.
  2. Select Benchmark Verification.
  3. In the Name box, type a name for the new schedule.
  4. Select the Device to be included in the benchmark verification schedule.
  5. Optional: Select Automatically verify with the inline measurement instrument.
  6. Choose the Job properties appropriate for the benchmark verification schedule.
  7. Select a Tolerance Set.
  8. Select a Patch Set.
  9. Click Next.
  10. Select the time and days for the benchmark verification to occur.
  11. Optional: Under Notifications, click Add Recipient to send email notifications for verification events, such as passing or failing verification.
    Note: Any email address can receive notifications.
  12. Click Done.
  13. Optional: Click the Request verification icon () to request press operators to perform the first verification for the benchmark schedule from the EFI ColorGuard desktop application.

When the first verification is complete, the benchmark is created. The benchmark is then used as the color reference for subsequent benchmark verifications.
