Teac P-55 instruction manual Correcting for displacement and hue shift between colors

SECTION 14 : Getting Label Print Job Started

2. Correcting for displacement and hue shift between colors

With the P-55 you can correct for displacement of boundaries and hue shift between colors. These corrections are made by first printing test patterns and then reading and entering necessary corrective values from the printed patterns.

1) Correcting for displacement

1)Select Printers & Faxes from Start. (In Windows

2000, select Start --> Settings --> Printers.)

2)Right-click the icon for TEAC P-55 Disc Label Printer and select Printing Preferences.

3)Click the Maintenance tab.

CAUTION

To correct displacement and hue shift between colors

Correction values are specified for PHOTO and COLOR (*1) ribbons each. The type of ribbon displayed on the standard tab is the type of ribbon installed in your P-55.(*2)

If the type of ribbon displayed is different from the type of ribbon installed, close the Printing Preferences window and then open it again.

If, with the Printing Preferences window open, you replace the current ribbon with a ribbon of a different type and correct displacement and hue shift between colors, the settings take effect for the ribbon that was installed before replacement, not the ribbon currently installed.

Make sure you close the Printing Preferences window first before replacing the ribbon with a ribbon of another type and correcting displacement and hue shift between colors. Then, replace ribbons, open Printing Preferences again, and change the correction settings.

(*1) --- The same values as for COLOR ribbon take effect for black ribbon.

(*2) --- The type of ribbon is displayed in the field for Ribbon type circled as shown in the left-hand image.
