Density control panel

The printer has been adjusted at the factory to produce the best possible image quality. All Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS printers come with these default settings in effect.

There are always small variations in color between different printers. If you have two Color LaserWriter printers on the same network, you can use the density control panel to make subtle changes to match the two printers.

Because the color-matching methods assume the printer is in the default condition, changing the settings may produce images of an inferior quality. If you want to perform your own color correction, however, you can use the controls on the panel to adjust the color balance of each color.
