Scanning the Test Pattern(s)

To scan the Test Pattern:

1. Thoroughly clean the platen glass and place the test pattern 

on it.

2. Set up the Scanning Parameters. It is recommended that you 

set up the scanning parameters as follows:

NOTE:  It is important that scanner settings be precisely the 

same when measuring the custom profile as when using the 

profile later for production scans.

a. Option>Preferences>Color>ICC Profile: 

b. Main GUI, Production Color, scanning from the platen

c. Main GUI, Background suppression: Off

d. Main GUI, Image Type: HF halftone

e. Quality GUI, Brightness, Contrast & Saturation: all 

Nominal (0)

f.

Quality GUI, Medium-Colorant: Default/Average/

Unknown, regardless of the actual document 

characteristics being scanned

3. Using FreeFlow Makeready, scan the Test Pattern and save 

the scan.

NOTE:  If the ICC Profile building package has the ability to 

average multiple scans, the test pattern(s) may be scanned 

multiple times to reduce the effect of random variations. 

FreeFlow Makeready stores the scanned TIFFs in a .con 

directory with the same name as the RDO.
