Method 2

Use SIM46-21 to print the color balance adjustment sheet, and check each process (CMY) black patch color balance and the black patch in order to confirm that the color balance adjustment is proper.

1)The max. density section is not blurred.

2)Patch C or D of each of Y, M, C, and BK is very slightly copied.

3)Patch for each of Y, M, C, BK

The patch density is identical between patches or not reversed.

The patch density is changed gradually.

If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY mixed color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the adjustment is proper. If the color balance of the adjustment pattern printed in this mode is slightly shifted to Magenta, it is converted into the natural gray color balance by the color table in an actual copy mode. (When the color balance target is DEF 1.)

If color balance or density is not satisfied, adjust the copy and printer color balance by SIM 46-74.

(3) Printer color balance/density check

Before checking the printer color balance and the density, be sure to execute the following procedures in advance.

*Execute the high density image correction (Process correction) forcibly. (SIM 44-6)

*The half-tone image correction is forcibly executed. (SIM 44-26)

Method 1

Execute SIM 64-5 to print the print test pattern.

Set each set value to the default and press [EXECUTE] key. The print test pattern is printed.

The print density must be changed gradually from the lighter level to the darker level. The density changing direction must not be reversed. The density level of each color must be almost at the same level.

Method 2

Use SIM 67-25 to print the color balance adjustment sheet and compare each process (CMY) black patch color balance and the black patch to check the color balance.
