Adjusting the Color Balance

CAUTION Adjusting the color balance will change the printer's calibration. Because this procedure adjusts parameters within the printer hardware, it will affect all print jobs. Check with your system administrator before making any changes to the color balance.

The printer automatically recalibrates the color settings. However, you can adjust the color manually from the default settings by changing the densities of the four toners (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). Changing the Detail Halftone Adjust and Smooth Halftone Adjust allow you to independently adjust the color of objects on a page that use the smooth and detail halftones (such as text and graphics).

Any settings you change remain in effect until you change them again or restore the factory defaults.

Do not perform the color balance adjustment procedure until all of the following troubleshooting methods have been completed:

zExperiment with the printer driver and application settings to adjust the color output. For more information on application settings, see the previous sections on printer driver settings in this chapter or the online help.

zClean the density sensor in the printer. For more information, see “Cleaning the Density Sensor” in chapter 8.

zComplete the troubleshooting solutions in chapter 8 for the color printing problem you are experiencing.
