Introduction |3
The Epson®SpectroProofer®is an optional in-line color measuring system
that can be installed on the Epson SureColor® P6000, P7000, P8000 and
P9000 printers. When driven by the latest software RIP front-ends, the
SpectroProofer can automate virtually any color management process in
your workflow.
Follow the instructions in this guide to install the SpectroProofer on your
printer. This guide also provides maintenance and troubleshooting
information. Once you’ve set up the SpectroProofer, follow the instructions
that came with your color measuring software to use the equipment.
Handling and product information
Be careful when handling the spectrophotometer, calibration tile, and
backing plates. If they become scratched or soiled, your color measurements
may be affected.
Note that the spectrophotometer and tile come as a numbered set; they have
been calibrated to work together. If you purchase two or more products, be
sure you use the same numbered pieces together.
Introduction
Note:
The ILS30EP-based
SpectroProofer is
backwards compatible with
the Epson Stylus®Pro
7890, 7900, 9890, and
9900 printers. It is not
supported on the Epson
Stylus Pro 7700 and 9700.
Caution:
Do not touch the
spectrophotometer lens; it
can be easily scratched.
Avoid touching the white
surface of the tile and
backing plates.

Setting Up the SpectroProofer |5
1. Remove any tape and protective material from the outside surface of the
SpectroProofer.
2. Remove any tape from the paper presser, shown below. Raise the paper
presser and remove its packing material.
3. Remove any packing tape from the carriage.
Note:
The 44" model is shown.
These instructions also
apply to the 24" model.
Save the original box and
packing materials in case
you need to ship the
equipment.
Caution:
Check for packing material
all around and under the
paper presser.

4. Remove the packing material from the cables on the carriage.
5. Slide the carriage to the left and then remove its plastic retainer.
6. Slide the carriage back to the right, then lower the paper presser.
Note:
Save the retainer along
with other packing
materials.

7. Slide the carriage against the paper presser to lock it in place.
8. Insert the spectrophotometer into the carriage so it clicks into place and
then insert the two alignment pins.
Caution:
Make sure the alignment
pins are flush with the
carriage, otherwise the
SpectroProofer may not
work properly.

9. Connect the cables on the carriage to the spectrophotometer.
Installing the SpectroProofer
Before installing the SpectroProofer, make sure the printer has the latest
firmware installed. Follow the instructions for updating the firmware in your
Setup Guide.
1. Turn off the printer and unplug it from the AC outlet.
2. Remove the cover plate from the printer as shown.
Warning:
Make sure the
SpectroProofer and printer
are unplugged from the AC
outlet before connecting
the spectrophotometer
cables. Be careful not to
dislodge the
spectrophotometer when
connecting the cables.

3. Using the included bolts and hex wrench, install the mounting rails in
the two locations shown below.
4. Select whether you want to use the white or black backing plate(s).
To attach a plate, align the tabs at the top of the plate with the slots on
the printer, and then release the plate so it rests flush against the printer.
The backing plate adheres magnetically; it is attached correctly if it
doesn’t move when you try to slide it.
Note:
The backing plates provide
a uniformly opaque surface
under the paper. Use the
white backing plate for
most papers. Use the black
backing plate if your paper
has low opacity and a
watermark on the reverse
side.

10 |Setting Up the SpectroProofer
For the 44" model, attach the first backing plate on the right side of the
printer, then attach the second backing plate to its left. Make sure the
plates hook together as shown. Ensure that both plates rest flush against
the printer and don’t move when you try to slide them.
5. Insert the calibration tile into the holder. Rotate the cover on the back of
the holder. Drop in the tile with its white surface facedown. Replace the
cover.
Caution:
Do not touch the white
surface of the tile.
