The Updater checks for updates of the software and documentation on the EFI web site and allows you to download and install them. You can set a preference to determine how often the Updater runs.

1. In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, click Edit > Preferences.
2. Click the preferred frequency in the Automatically check for updates list.
   • Every time - The Updater runs whenever you open Fiery Color Profiler Suite.
   • Monthly - The Updater runs whenever you open Fiery Color Profiler Suite if more than a month has passed since the last check.
   • Never - The Updater does not run automatically. You can run the Updater manually.

There are many ways to calculate "Delta E", the numerical difference between two colors. This is often written as dE or ΔE. You can use the Preferences tab to set how Fiery Color Profiler Suite calculates dE.

1. In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, click Edit > Preferences.
2. Click one of these calculation methods in the dE Calculation Method list:

   • dE ab - The standard CIE method. The color difference is the distance between the two colors, calculated in three-dimensional Lab color space.

   • dE 94 - A variant of CIELAB that CIE TC1-29 recommends as the color difference formula. For graphic arts applications, this method uses K1 = 0.045 and K2 = 0.015.

   • dE 2000 - A variant of CIELAB that CIE recommended in 2000. This method uses KL = KC = KH = 1.0.

   • dE CMC - The ratio of differences in lightness to chroma and to hue calculated using the ISO standard ISO 105-J03. Values for lightness and chroma weights are 1.0 for use with perceptibility data.

In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, you can create a Virtual Printer when a new calibration set and profile are created. This preference determines whether Fiery Color Profiler Suite will automatically create a Virtual Printer, ask if a Virtual Printer should be created when a profile and calibration are created, or never create a Virtual Printer.

1. In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, click Edit > Preferences.
2. On the General tab, set Create Virtual Printers.
   The choices are:

   • Ask - prompts the user to chose whether to create a Virtual Printer when creating a new calibration set and profile using Fiery Express Profiler or Fiery Printer Profiler modules.
   • Always - automatically creates a Virtual Printer when creating a new calibration set and profile using Fiery Express Profiler or Fiery Printer Profiler modules.
   • Never - does not automatically create a Virtual Printer when creating a new calibration set and profile using Fiery Express Profiler or Fiery Printer Profiler modules.

If you are running Command WorkStation v5.7 or earlier and your computer has multiple versions of Fiery Color Profiler Suite installed on your computer, you can set which version to use when you open Fiery Color Profiler Suite from Command WorkStation.

1. In Fiery Color Profiler Suite, click Edit > Preferences.
2. Click the preferred version in the list.
