7.10 Adjusting Tone Density 2557.10 Adjusting Tone DensityWhen colors look off, you can use color calibration to adjust the color density.Color calibration allows you to maintain consistent print quality.To perform color calibration, print a Calibration Chart from the printer, compare the chartwith the supplied “Color Sample for gray level correction” (hereinafter referred to as “ColorSample”) to determine the correct density, and then use the control panel to enter the valueon the printer.The densities of C (cyan), M (magenta), Y (yellow) and K (black) can be adjustedindividually to Low, Mid, or High.If you want to return the values of all colors to their factory defaults, set all the values to “0”.Setting the values to “0” disables color calibration during printing.Note• If color consistency is not maintained even after color calibration is performed, contact our CustomerSupport Center or your dealer.• Setting the density values to “0” does not always return print quality to the level it was at immediatelyafter the printer was installed. Using the printer for an extended period can affect print quality due tofactors such as deterioration of the printer, changes in the installation environment, and the number ofsheets printed to date.Calibration ProcedureThe basic procedure for color calibration is shown below.Before Getting Started• Have the ColorSample ready.• Load A4-size paper inportrait orientationinto the bypass tray.Calibration Chart(Text Priority/PhotoPriority) PrintingControl PanelDetermine densityvalues.Click [Apply].(CentreWare Internet Services Operation)Refer to:“Printing aCalibration Chart”(P. 256)Refer to:“Determining theDensity Values”(P. 257)Refer to:“Inputting Density Values” (P. 260)Refer to:“Loading Paper in theBypass Tray” (P. 95)Use web browser toenter densityvalues.Refer to:CentreWare InternetServices online helpCannot usenetwork.Enter densityvalues on controlpanel.
