Matching the Video Monitor Color to the Printer Color
To match the color of the monitor image to that of the printout, adjust the monitor and printer colors such that the monitor color is the same as that of the printout. The printer outputs either of two kinds of video signals according to the printer settings.
•EE (E to E): Signals are output to the monitor after being processed by the printer’s circuitry.
•THRU (THROUGH): Signals are output to the monitor as is.
Adjustment on the video monitor
The monitor color may not be adjusted correctly even if the printer color is correctly adjusted. Check the color of the video monitor before adjusting the printout color. In such a case, use the THRU signal by setting SOURCE to THRU in the OUTPUT SETUP menu or turning off the power of the printer to send out the through signal from the video equipment to the video monitor
After adjusting the color of the video monitor using video monitor controls, adjust the color of the printer’s output signal.
Adjustment on the printer
Note
This adjustment is performed to adjust the color of the printer output signal when the monitor color is unsatisfactory. This adjustment does not affect the printout itself. To adjust the color of the printout, see “Adjusting the Printout Color” on page 86.
