Remark 1: The output result
produced is the same for the four methods, see the URL DE09
Remark 2: The output result produced here by File Output Linearisation
(OLF) is based on measurement of the LAB* CIELAB
data instead of only lightness L* data used in DE09
For similar Methods to produce a start and linearized output for a single Figure or many Figures of the ISO/IEC-test charts or the complete ISO/IEC-test charts, see DE00
For the accuracy of the Start and Linearized printer output for the digital 16 step colour series, see DE14L
1. Output Linearization (OL) of the ISO/IEC-test chart no. 3
Step S1: Start output of the 16 grey steps.
Remark: The measurement data of CIELAB LAB* of the 16 grey
steps are used to produce an linearized output.
Step S2: linearized output of the 16 equidistant grey steps
in CIE lightness L*
Step S3 (optional): Specification of the reproduction
properties of the start output and the linearized
output according to the method given in Annex G of ISO/IEC
15775: 1999-12.
Short description of the method using
the PS output method for device T:
1. The file A/DE19/10T/T10E00NA.PS
is used to produce a PS ouput on a PS printer.
2. The 16 LAB*-CIELAB data of the 16 gray steps
of the output NA are measured in the sequence F to 0.
3. The 16 LAB*-CIELAB data of the output NA
are included in the files FA and RA (R=result, optional
not listed here, for the accuracy data as table and figure see DE14L).
4. The file A/DE19/10T/T10E00FA.PS
is used to produce the linearized PS ouput on a PS printer.
5. The 16 LAB*-CIELAB data of the 16 gray steps
of the output FA are measured in the sequence F to 0.
6. The 16 L*-lightness data of the output FA
are included in the file RA (R=result, optional,
not listed here, see the accuracy data as table and figure see DE14L).
Remark: For a PDF output on any printer (instead of the PS output
on a PS printer) the software Adobe Acrobat Distiller or
an equivalent is necessary. The software is used to produce PDF
files from PS files.
Output linearization of the achromatic ISO/IEC-test chart no. 3
If the start printer output of the ISO/IEC-test chart fails to pass some of the ISO/IEC-tests according to ISO/IEC 15775, e. g. to recognize 16 grey steps or at least 5 of the 8 Landolt -rings in a row, then there is the intention for an linearized printer output.
At least the actual measurement data of lightness L* (or the LAB* CIELAB data) for the colours 48 to 63 (colour series N W ) must be included in the digital file FP.PS, e. g. T10E00FP.PS, arround the line number 83 to produce a linearized output.
Remark 1: In the file T10E00FP.PS the PS operator 0 0 0 n* setcmykcolor is used and therefore the CIELAB data of the colour series N W must be changed.
Remark 2: The CIELAB data of the colours 112 to 128 (colour series A W) must be changed if the PS operator c* m* y* 0 setcmycolor is used in the digital file T10E00FP.PS. The change must be arround the line number 147 to produce a linearized output. This is not the case in the following files FP.PS.

At least the actual measurement lightness
L* data (or the LAB* CIELAB data)
for the colours 48 to 63 (colour series N W) of the
file NP.PS, e. g. T10E00NP.PS, must be included in the
digital file FP.PS, e. g. T10E00FP.PS, arround the line
number 83 to produce a linearized output of an actual printer.

Remark: Other grey output possibilities
are in preparation (compare DE09), such as
1. w* setgray
2. n* n* n* 0 setcmykcolor
3. w* w* w* setrgbcolor
In general each output is different using one of the methods no.
1 to 3 compared to the method used here (0 0 0 n* setcmykcolor).
