Adjustments and Maintenance ProceduresCCoolloorr CCaalliibbrraattiioonnUse Color Calibration to maintain consistent colors. You can adjust the color density, gray balance, orboth. For the best results, adjust the color density, then adjust the gray balance.At the start of each color calibration procedure, three pages are printed.1. An instruction sheet explaining the calibration and evaluation procedures that are used for bothcolor density calibration pages, and the gray balance calibration pages.2. An initial Color Reference Page with color density patches, ranging from 5 percent to 100 percent.Mark this initial page to identify it from the final Color Reference Page, which is printedautomatically at the completion of your adjustments. Comparing the initial print with the finalprint allows you to compare visually the results of your adjustments.3. A calibration page that changes, based on the adjustment procedure. The calibration page is yourprimary tool for evaluating when an adjustment is required. To allow you to repeat an adjustmentuntil the calibration is complete, this page reprints each time you make an adjustment. All colorson a calibration page reflect the previous adjustments. An adjustment is complete when thecenter, or zero, position shows the best available color setting.CCoolloorr DDeennssiittyy CCaalliibbrraattiioonnAdjusting color density allows you to calibrate the density and balance of the four primary colors ofcyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The density settings adjust the printed output, based on the levelof color saturation. If you select the minus settings, the color density decreases and the output light-ens. If you select the plus settings, the color density increases and the output darkens. Examples oflow density areas include faces and sky.The third page printed at the start of your color densityadjustment is the Cyan/Magenta Calibration Page. Thispage contains a range of density settings available for cy-an and magenta. The current density setting for each ofthe light, medium, and dark rows are numbered zero. Theavailable settings are printed in a comb pattern, againsta background representing the desired density setting. Ifthe best match is between two combs, select a value be-tween the two printed combs.Starting a Color Density CalibrationTo begin your calibration and print the calibration pages:1.
