Use the color sensor (for selected models)

The color sensor enables you to measure and adjust the color accuracy of your computer display. Therefore, a color image or graphic is rendered as close as possible to its original intent. The color profile for your computer display is preinstalled on your computer. If you want to install a different color profile, go to:

To use the color sensor, open the Start menu, click X-Rite > PANTONE Color Calibrator, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

When the color sensor is in use, the color-sensor indicator on the computer outer lid blinks twice at regular intervals. When the color measuring and adjustment finishes, the color-sensor indicator stays on.

After you use the color sensor for the first time, a calibration profile ECCM2SensorData.dat is generated. Back up this calibration profile on an external storage device in case that both the color sensor and the internal storage device are replaced.

To locate the DAT file, go to This PC > Documents > X-Rite.

The display provides a color profile that can work with the Microsoft Image Color Management (ICM) function. If the graphics software you are using is compatible with ICM, you can display a color image on your monitor and match it with the same quality one on another device, such as a scanner or a printer.

For more information about the Microsoft ICM, see the Windows help information.
