Color Adjustments
Depending on the machine usage conditions and
ambient environment, color drift may occur. In this event,
print a test page from the machine and adjust the color
balance.
This is used to perform color adjustments when the color
print output appears to contain the incorrect colors
throughout the document.
Environmental conditions for color adjustments
Color Adjustments are affected by the ambient lighting
and the paper used to print the test page. Adjust the
color balance under the conditions below.
• Ambient light
White light or the same light as the ambient
environment in which the machine is installed
• Paper used to Test Print
Make sure to load 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 white plain paper
for color printing in the machine.
Color reproduction may vary depending on the paper
quality. Do not use paper that has absorbed moisture.
Easy Calibration and Color Balance
The machine has the two color adjustment functions
below. Use the function that is appropriate for the
severity of the color drift.
• Easy Calibration
Use when color drift is comparatively mild.
• Color Balance
Use when color drift is severe, or when the Easy
Calibration did not correct the color drift.
Easy Calibration
This function is performed by selecting the desired color
of gray (processed gray), which is a combination of
cyan, magenta, and yellow on the printed test page.
Before using the Easy Calibration, load 8-1/2" x 11" or
A4 white plain paper in the tray and follow the
instructions in "
Environmental conditions for color
adjustments ".
(1) Access the machine's Web page from your
computer and open the Color Adjustments
page.
(2) Click the [Test Print] button in the Easy
Calibration.
A test page for the Easy Calibration is printed.
Colors printed by the machine and colors displayed on
your computer monitor will never completely match
due to differences in the color formation method.
