Color Calibration
Bias adjustment
The printer’s Bias Adjustment feature provides basic control over the
printer’s color production. The Bias Adjustment screens, accessible via the
printer panel, allow you to override the printer’s current toner density and
brightness settings.
Using the Bias Adjustment and calibration offset controls, you can increase
or decrease the density of cyan, magenta, yellow or black, and increase or
decrease the overall brightness of all toner colors.
To perform Bias Adjustment:
1. Print a color calibration page to confirm the current Bias Adjustment.

2. Compare the color calibration page with the provided Color Calibration
Card. ( See page 173 .)
