Color Menu

Note: Factory default settings are shown in bold.

The printer automatically adjusts color balance and density at appropriate intervals, optimizing the printed output for bright white paper viewed in natural daylight conditions.

The items on this menu provide a means of changing the default settings for special or particularly difficult print jobs. Settings revert to their default values when the next print job is complete.
