Re: [Digital BW] The X-Rite DTP32R... Any Experts Here?

2006-03-26 by dlruckus

Try going on X-Rites web site and looking under the support/documents
section.There was a document called DTP20_COMMAND_INTERFACE there at
one time. It describes the RCI. Don't know if it's the same but I
doubt the methods would change too much.
