4. Adjusting the Color
Calibration of the Printer
To maintain a constant print quality, color calibration is important for color
printers. Color output may change after many prints, after a new toner cartridge
is installed or with changes in temperature and atmospheric conditions.
This section provides instructions on printer color calibration.
Important
❒
In order to do a full color calibration, you have to do the “Auto Color Calibration” in the copy mode at first, then in the printer mode.
❒
Color calibration should be done separately to match the printer driver's settings. You can select among 3 Color Levels
*1
1 bit, 2 bit, 4 bit (High Quality)
Note
❒
The adjustment of the color calibration affects the output of all of the users
who use the same printer.
❒
Use the same type of paper for each print of the test pattern. An inaccurate
adjustment can occur if the scanned paper type is different from the output
paper type.

Using the Job Log
Using the Job Log
This printer records a Job Log which shows the time of each print job, the number of pages, and the current print status of each job. The Job Log also shows
User ID for each job, making it easy to find the job in the log.
You can set up a User ID using 8 characters or less, which can help you to find
your own job log among many who share the same User Code. Up to 64 User IDs
are available.
Note
❒
Set up a User ID with the printer driver when you print.
❒
You can change the User ID every time you print.
❒
You can also browse the job log on your computer by accessing PRINTER
MANAGER FOR ADMIN/CLIENT.
❒
Turning off the power or resetting the printer deletes the job log.

Color Guide
Color Printing Basics
Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models
All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB
model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model
produces white.
red
green
Note
❒
RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer
screen are produced by varying the intensities of RGB.
Printed color is a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow, which is normally called
the CMY color model. When mixed in equal proportions the CMY color model
produces black.
yellow
cyan
Note
❒
CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color. The printer uses CMY toner
plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing.
blue
magenta

Page 80
Appendix
The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta,
and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are
mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces
cyan, for example). The remaining color is the compliment of the color produced
(red in this example). Complimentary colors are: red and cyan, green and magenta, blue and yellow.

Printed Color
The printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model.
Note
❒
Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pure black,
but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce
a muddy or dark brown. Black toner is added to the color model in order to
make it possible to produce pure black.
