When prompted to place the EFI ES-2000 in the calibration cradle, make sure that the
white tile cover on the cradle is open (the slider is drawn back) and that the
EFI ES-2000 aperture is in full contact with the white tile. If you do not place the
EFI ES-2000 correctly in the calibration cradle, it does not return accurate
measurements. For best results, keep the white tile properly cleaned, as described in
“Maintenance and cleaning” on page 6.
Note: You must use the calibration cradle that was packaged with your EFI ES-2000.
The calibration cradle has the same serial number as your EFI ES-2000.
EFI ES-2000 instrument settings in Color Profiler Suite
When you use the EFI ES-2000 with Color Profiler Suite, you can set the instrument
settings:
• Measurement mode: When you measure a strip, select the type of measurement
(described in Strip measurement).
• Use ruler: If this option is selected, the positioning sensor on the underside of the
EFI ES-2000 reads the stripes on the ruler to determine the position of the
EFI ES-2000 when you measure a strip. The use of the ruler is required for strip
measurement in two passes (described in Strip measurement).
• 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.
To measure a single patch
1 Attach the EFI ES-2000 to the patch guide by inserting the connector on the patch guide
into the rear slot of the EFI ES-2000.
The EFI ES-2000 aperture fits in the round hole of the patch guide.
2 Position the aperture of the EFI ES-2000 in the middle of the patch that you want to
measure.
3 Press and release the button on the side of the EFI ES-2000.
The status lights on the EFI ES-2000 are off when the measurement has been recorded.
