Strip measurement
To measure a strip of patches on a patch page, you measure one pass or two passes of
each strip depending on the measurement type that you want.
Measurement mode
M0
M1
M2
Measurement type
One pass, UV included
Two passes, D50, UV included
Two passes, UV cut
Use the backup board with the ruler to guide the EFI ES-2000 along the strip.
If you selected the Use Ruler option in the EFI ES-2000 instrument settings, 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. The Use Ruler option is always selected
when you measure with two passes.
Note: If you use the EFI ES-2000 in conjunction with an iO table for automated
measuring and cannot access the M1 or M2 method, update the firmware of the iO
table. You can obtain the firmware update here:

To measure a strip
1 Open the backup board and place the patch page on it with the strips parallel to the hinge.
Use the clamp to secure the page.
2 Place the ruler on the page, lining up the plastic edge with the edge of the strip that you
want to measure.
3 Place the EFI ES-2000 on the ruler, fitting the slots on the underside of the EFI ES-2000 into
the pins on the slider.
When the EFI ES-2000 is seated correctly, the aperture is positioned over the strip to
be measured, just beyond the plastic edge of the ruler.
4 Slide the EFI ES-2000 to position the aperture in the white space before the first patch in
the strip.
5 Press the button on the side of the EFI ES-2000 and hold it down.
6 Wait for the sound or visual cue, and then slide the EFI ES-2000 at a slow, but consistent
pace across the strip.
