Color Correction

The output density and print position of each color may vary depending on the machine's environment. Factors like temperature and humidity can affect color. Color calibration and color registration help you to improve the color density and the print position of each color.

Color Calibration

Calibration helps you to improve the color density.

NOTE

•For HL-3170CDW: if you print using the BR-Script printer driver, you need to perform the calibration from the control panel (see Using the control panel on page 32).
