Although it is normally possible to obtain print results of sufficient quality just by setting the print type and paper size, this section describes how to use the menus to increase print quality even further.

1.Image quality adjustment (Hue)

Select when you want to change the hue by adjusting the shade of cyan, magenta and/or yellow.

1Cyan adjustment

A blue-green results when the setting is increased in the cyan direction while cyan’s complementary color, red, is intensified when the setting is increased in the red direction.

2Magenta adjustment

A reddish-purple results when the setting is increased in the magenta direction while magenta’s complementary color, green, is intensified when the setting is increased in the green direction.

3Yellow adjustment

Yellow is intensified when the setting is increased in the yellow direction while yellow’s complementary color, blue, is intensified when the setting is increased in the blue direction.

•The intensities of each of these colors can be adjusted using a bar.

With "0" as the default, these values can be adjusted between –100 to +100.

2.Brightness adjustment

Make this adjustment when the color appears darker or lighter in the printout than it does displayed on the screen.

•Adjust the brightness of the entire image using the bar.

With "0" as the default, this value can be adjusted between –100 to +100. Negative values result in a darker image while positive ones result in a brighter image. This setting is effective when dealing with images that are too dark or too bright overall.

3.Contrast adjustment

Make this adjustment when differences in brightness for the entire image are not clearly defined or when the image appears fuzzier in the printout than it does displayed on the screen.

•Adjust the contrast of the entire image using the bar.

With "0" as the default, this value can be adjusted between –100 to +100. Increasing the contrast makes the bright areas appear brighter and the dark areas appear darker, while decreasing the contrast decreases the apparent difference in brightness between bright and dark areas.

NOTE:

When you adjust the print quality using the Manual Correction settings the computer needs extra processing time. Therefore, when you print after adjusting the print quality you may experience a period of up to 90 seconds, when your computer becomes unresponsive. This is normal. After this time the status window appears and opetaion is restored.
