Set the Color Balance

Why Set the Color Balance?

Setting the color balance after shipment ensures that the three primary colors your printer uses are properly balanced. If they are not balanced, one color may dominate, and printed pictures will not be as lifelike as they could be.

The color balance should be set

• when the printer is installed

• any time the print quality seems to have deteriorated

• when image drums are replaced

• if you switch to a significantly different print media (e.g., from white to media of various colors)

• if the printer is moved to a new location

Setting the Color Balance

3. Press SELECT. This restores the factory color balance settings, which form a baseline for the adjustment.

The Color Balance test pattern prints.

4. Check the color of the center circle in the printout against the surrounding circles:

• If the center circle matches the circles labeled 00,

the color balance is correctly adjusted and you’re done. Press ON LINE (the printer will go back on line)

• If the center circle does not match circle 00,

determine which surrounding circle most closely matches the center circle and note its number.

1. Press MENU repeatedly until COLOR MENU

displays.

2. Press ITEM + repeatedly until

COLOR BALANCE ADJUST RESET TO DEF AULT

displays.

5. Press VALUE (+ to increase # or - to decrease #) repeatedly until

COLOR BALANCE ADJUST SELECT PATTERN #

displays, where # represents the number determined in step 4.

6. Press SELECT.

The new value is engaged and a new test pattern prints.

7. Check the pattern again and repeat steps 4 through 6 until the color of the center circle most closely matches the circles labeled 00.

The color balance process is subjective. It is unlikely that you will get an exact match of the

center circle to the circles labeled 00. Repeat the color balance process until you feel you have a match, but no more than three times before pressing ON LINE to exit the color balance process.

8. Press ON LINE.

The printer goes back on line.
