NOTE: If an external instrument is connected, you are asked if you want to use the internal or external
instrument for calibration measurements. If you choose external, a line-up target is provided on-screen to
assist you in positioning the external instrument at the center of the screen.
StudioCal XML calibration
The StudioCal XML calibration method allows you to very precisely specify the calibration targets for a color
preset and calibrate up to three calibration presets in a single calibration session. StudioCal XML is an
extensible XML schema developed by HP for display calibration and modication. It was rst introduced with
the HP DreamColor Z27x Studio Display and has been extended to support the additional capabilities of this
display. While StudioCal XML
les are designed to be compatible between the dierent HP DreamColor Studio
displays, additional commands are available in this display that are not recognized by the Z27x. However, the
core calibration schema is designed to be compatible, and in many cases the same XML le can be shared
between dierent DreamColor Studio displays.
Instead of selecting calibration target options from menus, with StudioCal XML you dene these targets by
using XML objects and tags. The XML code is then saved as a le named StudioCal.xml and is stored on the
root of a USB ash drive. Flash drives formatted as FAT, FAT32, and NTFS are supported. See Using the
StudioCal XML schema on page 72 to learn how to use the XML schema to write calibration and other types
of scripts.
To calibrate using a StudioCal.xml le:
1. Create a le called StudioCal.xml le and copy it to the root (top) directory of a USB ash drive.
2. Insert the USB ash drive into one of the two DreamColor USB ports on the bottom of the display.
3. A message displays asking if you want to use the StudioCal.xml le on the ash drive to calibrate the
display.
If a rmware le is also found on the ash drive, the display asks you if you want to use the XML le for
calibration or install the rmware update. Select the XML le.
4. If an external instrument is connected, the display asks you if you want to use the internal or external
instrument for calibration.
If you select the external instrument, a line-up target is displayed to assist you in positioning the
instrument.
Calibration begins and will take approximately 3½ minutes when using the internal instrument. Calibration
time may be longer with some external instruments. Do not turn the display o during the calibration
process.
Calibration automation
Because the display is designed for color-critical work, it is important that the display remain calibrated, so
the display allows you to schedule automated calibration. This calibration can be scheduled at regular
intervals based on hours of use, physical weeks, or physical months. You can also specify when this
automated calibration takes place, ensuring that it occurs during o-hours and does not interrupt the
production process.
Scheduling automated calibrations
Use the Calibration menu to perform calibration scheduling. If you have not set the display’s internal clock
(Management > Time and date settings), the display prompts you to set the clock so that calibrations occur
at the correct time.
