Setup30The printer panel provides an interface to adjust thedensity of the toner applied to the media.This feature compensates for the changes that can occuras environmental conditions change, replacement ofaccumulator unit and/or print cartridge.Perform the following steps to adjust the color density:1. Print a Color Calibration Test Print Page to confirm thecurrent density (Color Calibration) and compare it withthe provided Color Calibration Card.2. If you wish to adjust the density for all colorssimultaneously, proceed to ìAdjusting the Densityfor All Colors Simultaneouslyî.ORIf you wish to adjust the density for each colorindependently, proceed to ìAdjusting the Density forEach Color Independentlyî.1 Press MENU/EXIT (PAUSE) button on the printerpanel.2 Press (CONTINUE) button until Color Calibrationmenu is displayed.3 Press ENTER button.Calibration Offset item menu appears.4 Press (CONTINUE) button until Calib. Test Prn.menu is displayed.5 Press ENTER button.A Color Calibration Test Print Page will be printed.• The current density setting for each color isindicated by the line enclosure on the ColorCalibration Test Print Page as shown in thefollowing example.Color Calibration Test Print Page (Example):*1 CMY Composite Gray is the color mixed CYAN,MAGENTA and YELLOW. If the color calibration isproper, the CMY Composite Gray is near gray.6 Compare the current color density settings on theColor Calibration Test Print Page with the colordensity samples on the Color Calibration Card to seeif they match.• Place the Color Calibration Test Print Page on atleast 2 sheets of clean white paper in a well-lightedarea.• If they match and CMY Composite Gray is proper,then you do not need to adjust the color density andyou may proceed with any operation you wish toperform.• If they do not match, go to the next step.7 Determine which block on the Color Calibration TestPrint Page most closely matches the density of thecyan sample on the Color Calibration Card.• Repeat this step for each color.8 Proceed to ìAdjusting the Density for All ColorsSimultaneouslyî or ìAdjusting the Density forEach Color Independentlyî.Adjusting the Color Density(Color Calibration)Printing a Color Calibration Test PrintPageCMYCompositeGray*1CurrentcolordensitysettingsColor CalibrationCardCleanwhitepaperColor CalibrationTest Print Page
