Adjusting the Color Balance 119

The color adjust page allows you to adjust the printer's two halftone
screens for each of the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black)
for a total of eight adjustments. Make these adjustments after
examining the color adjust page.

The color adjust page consists of two sections: the Detail Halftone
Adjust section and the Smooth Halftone Adjust section. Each section
shows the adjustment ramps for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow
and a neutral axis check ramp which can be used to verify the
adjustment after the correction values have been entered for each of
the primary colors. An example of the color adjust page is shown
below.
