Color calibration

You can calibrate the ink system for the specific paper loaded in your printer. Doing this ensures the printed output matches the colors of the original image as closely as possible. The printer stores the calibration data for each type of paper you have calibrated it for since it was powered up. Once the printer has been powered down, the next time you use it only the last calibration made will be available and it will print using these calibration data.

To color-calibrate your printer, first make sure you have the correct type of paper loaded and then make the following front-panel selections:
