7.Click on "Color Samples"

8.Choose "Off CMYK" or "US CMYK". These choices correspond to color matching settings available in the printer driver.

9.Click Print.

Not all colors will be printed on this job. To focus in more on specific colors you can click the Detailed Samples button on the color samples screen. This will allow you to enter specific CMYK values and a variation increment. The smaller the increment, the closer to the original CMYK value all the swatches will be. We recommend a increment of 2 or 3 when focusing in on specific CMYK values.

Tip! When typing in specific CMYK values, we recommend setting K to 0 to get more vibrant swatches.

Note: Be sure to switch the Size/Type back to Universal/Custom Type 5 via the Control Panel before sending another print job.

9.2Color/Alignment Calibration

Color calibration occurs automatically every 500 pages, when a new cartridge or ITU is installed, if power saver has been on for more than 8 hours and at other points if one of several internal parameters has exceeded a threshold. You will see the Calibrating... notice on the printers control panel when the calibration is taking place. This calibration is used for color accuracy and pixel (print head) alignment. See Section 9.3 for more information on Print Head Alignment.

You can force the printer to perform this calibration using these instructions.

Press Menu on the Printers Control Panel - Select Settings - Select Quality Menu - Select Color Adjust (last item on list). The printer will calibrate for several minutes.

9.3 Print Head Alignment

Pixel shifting can be caused by a misaligned print cartridge. This usually occurs after a new cartridge is installed. Try the following:

A.First do an auto alignment from the standard printer control panel. Press Menu - Select Settings - Select Quality Menu - Color Adjust (last item on list). The printer will calibrate for several minutes.

B.Perform a manual alignment for the specific color that is out of alignment (usually the same as the last replaced cartridge) from the Diagnostic menu.

1.On the printer's control panel, set the default source to Tray 1. Press Menu - Select Paper Menu - Select Default Source - Select Tray 1.
