 that measures the 

 reflected 

from printed output and other colored materials. Since the ES-1000 accurately measures 
both the 

 and color of printed output, it is an effective tool for calibrating the 

Fiery X3eTY2.

The ES-1000 is available as a separately purchased option.

To use the ES-1000 for calibration purposes, you must set it up for use with your computer. 
For complete instructions on setting up and calibrating the ES-1000, see the documentation 
that accompanies the ES-1000.

The following illustration shows the different parts of the ES-1000.

When you place the ES-1000 in the calibration cradle, white point calibration is used to 
calibrate the spectrophotometer. Make sure the sample aperture is in full contact with the 
white tile on the calibration cradle.

This chapter describes Simple ASCII File Format (SAIFF), which you can use to import 
density measurements from measurement devices. To use your own measurement data from 
an alternate measurement instrument, record your individual readings in a text file, and then 
structure the file as follows.

This format describes Status T measurement data for import into the ColorWise Pro Tools 
Calibrator. The three possible file formats are:

• 1D Status T density for EFI 21 patch page

• 1D Status T density for EFI 34 patch page

• 1D Status T density for other pages (maximum of 256 patches per ink)

The file format is ASCII and has no tabs. A single space or multiple spaces are used 
as delimiters. Blank lines are not allowed. Each line in the file represents four patches 
(C, M, Y, K) of a specific ink value. Comments may be on any line in the file. Comment lines 
must start with a pound sign (#) followed by a space. (A line with a pound sign followed by 
any character other than a space has been reserved.) Comments must be on a line by 
themselves.

Each line of data contains five values. The first number is the sequential patch number (for 
EFI 21 and EFI 34 pages) or the ink value percentage (for other pages). The four values that 
follow are the density values of C, M, Y, and K of the corresponding patch. Lines are ordered 
either by increasing sequential patch numbers, or by increasing the ink percentage.

For Windows computers, the file extension must be .cm1. For Mac OS computers, the file 
type must be ‘TEXT’.

Measurement data in EFI 21 and EFI 34 are paper-relative. For other pages, if the first line 
corresponds to zero ink value, the Calibrator assumes that the measurement data is absolute 
and adjusts it to become paper-relative by subtracting the density values of the first line from 
the remaining patches.

This file format is used to specify the Status T density measurements of the EFI 21 patch 
page. The value in the first column is the patch number. The first patch must be 1 and the last 
must be 21.

page. The value in the first column is the patch number. The first patch must be 1 and the last

This file format is used to specify the Status T density measurements of a user-defined patch 
page. The value in the first column is the ink/toner percentage of the patch. The first 
percentage must be 0 and the last percentage must be 100. The percentages must increase in 
between.
