Adjusting the Color Density
This section tells you how to make minor adjustments to the color density from
the density control panel.
Note:If y ou use a Macintosh and have a color calibrat io n hardware device
(such as a Status T or XRite densitomet er ; see the
User’s Guide
for
specifications), then you can use the C al ibrator utility supplied on the
utility diskette that came with this pri nter to test the accuracy of the color
density. (See the
User’s Guide
for information regarding this program . )
Generally, you do not need to make any adjustments to the color density. The
printer conducts an automatic density adjustment when you turn it on and aft er
printing a prescribed number of page s . If the c olo r density does not match
your configured selections, print a tes t pag e (see “Printing a Test Page” on
page 4–10) and compare it to the test pag e that you printed when you
installed the printer.
Note:If y ou change the color density using the instru ctions that follow, the
printed color may not match the color sp ec if ie d by print jobs.
Use the following procedure to adjust th e c olo r density.
1. Find the density control panel on the ba ck of the printer.
2. Press the COLOR SELECT push button to choose the color you want. The
color density light for the color you sele cted goes on.
3. Use the (–) or (+) push button to adjust the density of the color you
selected. The light for the density you s e lected flashes if the setting is
different from the factory default.
