<H3>Special Instructions</H3> <p>None</p>  <H3>Description</H3> <p>The goal of the Print calibration tests is to demonstrate that printed output conforms to the GSDF.  Although the participant may use whatever procedure is appropriate to their product for calibrating the output, the project managers will evaluate whether or not the output conforms to the GSDF by following the procedure outlined in  section 2 of the document <i>Test Plan for Print Servers</i>.</p>  <p>You will need to bring: <ol> <li> the means for calibrating the printer output,</li> <li> Densitometer,</li> <li> test cases, (available from web site),</li> <li> the means to send the test cases to the Print Server,</li> <li>  <em>gsdf_lum.xls</em>, (Excel spreadsheet, available from web site),</li> <li> the means to run macros in spreadsheet (Windows 98/NT/2000/XP),</li> <li> light box (dual unit or two single units)</li> </ol>  </p>  <p>Please first calibrate the printer to the GSDF, and then proceed as described in the above mentioned document to print the test cases, make the measurments, enter the measurements into the Excel spreadsheet, and give a copy of the test results to the project manager. </p> <p> It is recommended that participants calibrate their displays on the first day of the connectathon.  Although the evaluation will be done after the 'starting bell' of the connectathon, participants can do their initial calibration during system setup. </p>  <H3>Evaluation</H3> <p>The project manager will review the printed test cases and the output from the Excel spreadsheet, and may spot check the densitometer measurements.  The participant system passes if each individual measurement point as well as the average fall within 20% of the desired GSDF curve, as calculated by the spreadsheet, and if there are no visible artifacts in the printed images.</p>
