General Information about Preferences
"File > Preferences" invokes the function for basic settings in all the main functions. The "Preferences" dialog displays, and you can define the following defaults after selecting the tab you want:
•General settings such as set file locations, select the language of the GUI, switch to the easy mode (see the 'General' tab)
•Settings for measuring colors in "Measure" (see the 'Measurement' tab)
•Selection of a reference file for data comparison in "Compare" (see the 'Compare' tab)
•Selection of maximum four hot folders and their backup folders for the analysis results in "Analysis" (see the 'Hotfolder' tab)
•Settings for MDS (Master Data Store) for editing process standards (see the 'MDS' tab)
•Selection of a License Server (see the 'License Server' tab)
•Settings for the proof report (see 'CIE Report' Tab)
•Settings for the CIE report in "Compare" (see the 'CIE Report' Tab)
•Setting of tolerances for ink zones and gradual fading in "Measure" (see the 'Tol [%]' (tolerance) tab)
•Settings for a custom process standard index that you can use to customize the weighting of the quality criteria (dot gain, ΔE (Delta E) and gray balance) (see the 'Individual Quality Index (IQI)' tab)
You can define preferences in every main function, irrespective of whether they are to be applied at once. Some of the preferences do not affect the current document but only new ones you create or the next document you open. Some preferences require that you restart the application, for example, for a language switchover.
Note: After installation and initial launch of the application, we recommend that you customize your preferences to your needs.
