I am sure there was this feature. How can I print a test chart for scanning with my Pulse Spectrometer ?

Try this: all built in.
Click the yellow folder icon at the top left of the screen.
Scroll to (Q) Printer Target set up.job

It will set QU to print the target real, as is.

I just select 'OFF' for Printer Profile (in Printers/Settings tab).

>> Fred, where is an explanation and maybe even some examples of
what the different Interpolate & Sharpen functions are? <<

Howard, there are other settings preset for printing target images for you. For example, Print size, set to Original size. If you are using a spectro, the target must conform to the spectro software for scanning.
See attached screen snap
Please use this preset.

You can just set profile to "OFF" and be fine, but...  the optimal way is what Fred posted.  The printer target setup job sets the size to original size as Fred said, picks Vector interpolation method with sharpening off since other settings can produce some sharpening effect (you don't need sharpening for printing targets), etc.  A built-in job already exists that sets parameters properly for printing color targets to avoid common mistakes.  Might as well use it.

Regards,
Mike

Understood.

Will use the canned method.
