Color Adjust

Initiates a recalibration of color conversion tables and allows the printer to make

 

 

adjustments for color variations in output

 

 

Notes:

 

 

Calibrating starts when the menu is selected. Calibrating appears on the display

 

 

until the process is finished.

 

 

Color variations in output sometimes result from changeable conditions such as

 

 

room temperature and humidity. Color adjustments are made on printer

 

 

algorithms. Color alignment is also recalibrated in this process.
