Revision as of 11:37, 22 June 2023

Control Strips are processed twice a week (Tuesday & Thursday) for the Frontier printers. Once a week for the Chromira printer.

Process for reading:

Turn on X-Rite color checker machine at least 5 minutes prior to taking control strip readings
Open Oasis program on the desktop of the computer
Click the READ button for the corresponding printer labeled on the control strip
Take reading in the order displayed on OASIS (typically the order is: D-MAX, HD, LD, STAIN, Y-MAX)
After the reading is taken click FILE, then SHOW GRAPH
The Frontier printers will be off by 0.6 or 0.9, this is OK
Repeat the process for each control strip
Take all of the labelled control strips to the back and discard ones older than 30 days

To check/reactivate the dongle:

Go to the “System” pull down menu and select “Authorize”
When prompted for a password enter “pro” and press the enter key twice.
Sometimes the password has been changed to “no password” – Just press the enter key twice.
Select the “Evaluation Periods” tab (see screenshot below)
