Matching the Video Monitor Color
to the Printer Color
To match the color of the monitor image to that of the
printout, adjust the monitor and printer colors such that
the monitor color is the same as that of the printout.
The printer outputs either of two kinds of video signals
based on the printer settings.
• EE (E to E): Signals are output to the monitor after
being processed by the printer’s circuitry.
• THRU (THROUGH): Signals are output to the
monitor as is.
Adjustment on the video monitor
The monitor color may not be adjusted correctly even if
the printer color is correctly adjusted. Check the color of
the video monitor before adjusting the printout color. In
such a case, use the THRU signal by setting SOURCE to
THRU on the OUTPUT SETUP menu or turning off the
power of the printer to send out the through signal from
the video equipment to the video monitor.
After adjusting the color of the video monitor using
video monitor controls, adjust the color of the printer’s
output signal.

Note
This adjustment is performed to adjust the color of the
