2.3 To Improve the Reproducibility of Gray
Before the adjustment
After the adjustment
Another color (M) is blended in the gray area.
Explanation
No undesired color is blended. A clear copy image is obtained.
When an original containing gray is copied, another color may be blended in the gray area. Perform image quality control and perform the automatic calibration, hue adjustment (color balance adjustment or RGB adjustment) and color density adjustment, in order to avoid this problem (or to obtain an achromatic color, for instance).
Procedures
*You can start with any of the procedures. But it is recommended to perform the procedures in order, as listed below. You can use one procedure in conjunction with another. But if this changes the image quality more than required or loses effectiveness of the adjustment, restore the settings made in the previously used procedure to the original. Then perform the next procedure.
*Procedures (1) and (4) are used by the service technician only.
*Procedures (2) and (3) are used by the service technician, and by the user.
(1) Enter adjustment mode [05]. Select code [395]. Press the [START] button.
• Image quality control will be forcibly performed to correct the color balance and copy density.
After exercising image quality control, copy and check the copy image quality.
If further image quality adjustments are still necessary, use the next procedure.
(2) Perform the automatic calibration to correct variations in the copy density.
*For further information regarding the adjustment procedures, refer to procedure (2) in 2.2 To Closely Match with the Color Balance of the Original.
*[ADMIN] is selected from among the [CALIBRATION DISPLAY LEVEL] options by default. In other words, an administrator is authorized to operate the automatic calibration. But the [USER] option can also be selected to allow the user to operate it. Refer to the User Functions Guide for further information regarding how to select the [CALIBRATION DISPLAY LEVEL] option.
After performing the automatic calibration, copy and check the copy image quality.
If further image quality adjustments are still necessary, use the next procedure.
