Prior to using the Barbieri Spectro Swing interface, you must print out the barbierispectroswing_4color.PS file, located in the psfiles folder at the root of the drive where Wasatch SoftRIP is installed. (Use barbierispectroswing_5color.PS for a 5 color device, etc.) These are the only test patterns that will work with this interface.
After clicking on the Barbieri Spectro Swing option from the Densitometers menu, the following window will be displayed:
Select the type of media to be scanned: Paper or Film
The Spectro Swing is self-calibrating. Click on Next to begin the strip reading process.
This Process Test Strips screen begins the strip reading process. Select the colors to be linearized (if you uncheck a strip, the device still must read the entire target, but the data from that strip will be discarded). To begin reading the strips, click on the Read Strips button. The device will start the strip reading process.
After the densitometer has returned the strip values, you will see the message "Complete". Click on the Finish button to generate the curves.
