Set up the ES-3000
Setup of the ES-3000 is performed by connecting it to a computer.
1 Connect the ES-3000 to the computer.
Connect the USB cable of the ES-3000 to a free USB port on your computer, or to a USB hub that features a
separate power supply.
Note: Because of its power requirements, the ES-3000 will not work if it is plugged into the USB port on your
keyboard
2 Start the application that uses the ES-3000.
For more information, see the documentation that accompanies the application.
Measuring color samples
You can measure color samples using two different methods: single-patch measurement and strip measurement.
ES-3000 calibration
Before starting to measure color samples, you are prompted to place the ES-3000 on the calibration cradle. White
point calibration is used to calibrate the spectrophotometer and ensure consistent measurements.
When prompted to place the ES-3000 in the calibration cradle, make sure that the white tile cover on the cradle is
open (the slider is drawn back) and that the ES-3000 aperture is in full contact with the white tile. If you do not place
the ES-3000 correctly in the calibration cradle, it does not return accurate measurements. For best results, keep the
white tile properly cleaned, as described in
Note: You must use the calibration cradle that was packaged with your ES-3000. The calibration cradle has the same
serial number as your ES-3000.
ES-3000 instrument settings in Fiery Color Profiler Suite
When you use the ES-3000 with Fiery Color Profiler Suite, you can set the instrument settings.
•
Measurement mode: When you measure a strip, select the type of measurement (described in
measurement on page 4).
•
Use ruler: If this option is selected, the positioning sensor on the underside of the ES-3000 reads the stripes on
the ruler to determine the position of the ES-3000 when you measure a strip. The use of the ruler is required for
strip measurement in two passes (described in
•
Large patch size: If this option is selected, larger patches are printed to allow for better measurements with a
low-resolution printer. The measurement method is the same for regular and for large patches.
Single patch measurement
Use the patch guide to measure a single patch.
Follow the procedure to measure a single patch.
1 Attach the ES-3000 to the patch guide by inserting the connector on the patch guide into the rear slot of the
ES-3000.
The ES-3000 aperture fits in the round hole of the patch guide.
2 Position the aperture of the ES-3000 in the middle of the patch that you want to measure.
