Edit media parameters

Under certain circumstances, for example when you do not use original media, it may be necessary to change the default media parameters I N K -LI MI T O R G AMMA .

These settings may be necessary for each copy mode!

Media parameters should be edited in the order listed below. However, not all steps may be necessary.

1.Define Ink-limit

2.Define Gamma

3.Make greyscale calibration

1. Ink-limit and Gamma (tab GENERAL )

Print a test page via PRI NT TE S T SHE ET .

Adjust the ink-limit until all gray areas in the lower part are clearly visible. The gray areas should not fade out.

Change the Gamma value until, in the upper part of the print, the brightness of 50% Gray is exactly in the middle of the range between 100% White and 100% Black.

To check the settings, print a scanner-calibration- target and look at the colors. If the colors fade out, or if you can see color droplets, please reduce the ink- limit value via EDI T ME DI A PARAMTERS .

Then, print a new target and check the colors.

2. No Black Ink

When available, this option allows you to print without black ink. This option is possible for various printer types and media (e.g. glossy paper) as some ink types do not dry on certain media.

3. Gray Calibration

A gray calibration may help reduce color shifts in gray areas.

To make a gray calibration, proceed as follows: Check the box MO DI FY DEFAULT G RAY VALUE . Click PRI NT TARGET to get a calibration target.

Cut out the black & white mask on the left of the target along the trim lines and take the square out of the center.

With the mask, find the most neutral gray tone within each level and enter the corresponding coordinates in the window.

Check the new settings via PRI NT T ES T SH E E T .

Reset media parameters

With this option, the parameters will be reset to the default values.
