Depending on the machine usage conditions and ambient environment, color drift may occur. In this event, print a test page from the machine and adjust the color balance.
This is used to perform color adjustments when the color print output appears to contain the incorrect colors throughout the document.

Color Adjustments are affected by the ambient lighting and the paper used to print the test page. Adjust the color balance under the conditions below.
•Ambient light
White light or the same light as the ambient environment in which the machine is installed
•Paper used to Test Print

Color reproduction may vary depending on the paper quality. Do not use paper that has absorbed moisture.
Easy Calibration and Color Balance
The machine has the two color adjustment functions below. Use the function that is appropriate for the severity of the color drift.
•Easy Calibration
Use when color drift is comparatively mild.
