Print-Quality Problems

Color Settings

The print-quality mode and TekColor correction directly control the quality of your prints. You can change these settings in the printer driver or at the printer’s front panel.

Note

Driver settings override the printer’s front panel settings.

For more information on using color, go to Reference/Printing/Using Color on the User Documentation CD-ROM.

Color Calibration

Color calibration procedures adjust the printer for optimal color output. Color settings may need adjustment upon initial printer setup or when toner cartridges and imaging units are replaced. There are two procedures: “Lighten/Darken Colors” and “Balance Colors.” If the overall image appears either too light or dark, use the Lighten/Darken Colors procedure. If a finer adjustment of the primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) is needed, continue with the Balance Colors procedure.

Lighten/Darken Colors

The Lighten/Darken Colors procedure uniformly increases or decreases each primary color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to produce a lighter or darker image.

Procedure:

1.At the printer’s front panel, select Troubleshooting, then press the OK button.

2.Select Print Quality Problems, then press the OK button.

3.Select Calibrate Colors, then press the OK button.

4.Select Lighten/Darken Colors, then press OK button. The “Color Reference Page” prints. Use this page to evaluate the lightness/darkness of the image. The printer's current Lighten/Darken Value is displayed on the page.

a.Select Lightness Level, then press the OK button.

b.Press the Up or Down Arrow buttons to change the value from -5(lightest) to 5 (darkest), then press the OK button. The “Color Reference Page” automatically prints using the new lighten/darken value. Repeat this procedure until you achieve the desired result.

5.To complete the procedure, select one of the following options:

■ Accept Changes and Continue: Saves the new value and returns to the

Calibrate Colors menu.

■ Accept Changes and Exit: Saves the new value and returns to the Main menu.

■ Discard Changes and Exit: Returns to the Main menu without saving changes.

6250 specifications

The Xerox 6250 is a notable model in the history of photocopying technology, which emerged in the mid-1980s as a part of Xerox's line of high-performance copiers. Designed to meet the demands of small to medium-sized businesses, the Xerox 6250 was celebrated for its innovative features and robust capabilities, allowing it to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

One of the main features of the Xerox 6250 is its ability to produce high-quality monochrome copies. The machine operates at a sharp resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi), which ensures that text and images are reproduced with clarity and precision. It can handle a variety of paper sizes and types, including letter, legal, and even larger formats, making it suitable for diverse office needs.

A significant technological advancement featured in the Xerox 6250 is its electrostatic copying process. This technology enhances the overall efficiency and speed of copying, with the machine capable of producing up to 25 copies per minute. In addition, it includes an automatic document feeder (ADF), allowing users to load multiple-page documents for hassle-free copying, further streamlining workflow in busy office environments.

The Xerox 6250 also includes a user-friendly interface, featuring a simple control panel that facilitates easy operation. Users can easily select copy settings and make adjustments as needed, minimizing training time for new employees. Moreover, the device supports automatic duplexing, which enables users to produce double-sided copies efficiently, saving paper and reducing waste.

Another important characteristic of the Xerox 6250 is its reliability and durability. Built with robust components, this copier was designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, making it a trusted choice for many organizations. Maintenance is also straightforward, with easily accessible components that simplify servicing and replacement tasks.

With a compact footprint, the Xerox 6250 can seamlessly fit in various office settings, maximizing space without compromising functionality. Overall, the Xerox 6250 represents a significant step forward in copying technology, combining high-quality output, user-friendly design, and reliable performance, which has led to its lasting impact in the world of office equipment.
