Oki 59296702 manual Setting the Color Balance, When to use the Color Balance Utility

Setting the Color Balance

Important!

Be sure to check your printer’s color registration before you use the color balance utility. See “Setting the Color Registration” for details.

The Color Balance Utility program, which is normally loaded when you install your printer software, replaces the color balance item built into the printer’s control panel menu. Use this program to make sure that the three primary colors your printer uses—cyan, magenta, and yellow—are properly balanced. If they are not properly balanced, one color may dominate, and printed pictures will not be as lifelike as they could be.

When to use the Color Balance Utility

•When you replace an image drum.

•Whenever you feel the color reproduction of your printer is not accurate.

•When you set up your printer for the first time, after performing the color registration procedure.
