Color Balance—Adjusting and Storing the Color Balance

This function allows you to control the overall color tone of copies by adjusting the Y ellow, Magenta, Cyan and Black color balance. Nine levels of tone are available.

Reference

For copy sample, ☛ see page 19.

Note

❐ The color balance will return to the default when:

• The machine is automatically reset.

• The Clear Modes key is pressed.

• The operation switch is turned off.

• The main power switch is turned off.

❐ You can store and adjustments you make in memory and recall them later. ❐ You can sample color balance. ☛ See page 126.

Note

❐ Only color balance programs with m contain a color

Color Balance Sample—Sampling the Color Balance

Adjusting the color balance by trial and error could require many copies. The color balance sampling function allows you to produce nine samples on two copies. The first sample of each sheet uses the current color balance (standard). Each sample after that changes one toner color by a fixed number of steps.

Note

❐ The sample will be copied on two A4p, 81/2" × 11"p sheets or two A3l, 11" × 17"l sheets. ❐ Selecting Color Balance Sample does not reset the adjustments, allowing you to make many samples while

progressively changing the balance. The sample might yield a color balance outside the copier’s range which will be reproduced on the sample but not on the copy. For example, if yellow is already adjusted to +3 and you select Sample ±4, the yellow samples will be copied at yellow +7 and –1, but the adjustment for the final copy cannot be set to +7.

❐ The sampled area is as shown in the illustration.

You can adjust the edges of the image to make the image sharper or softer.

Reference

❐ For copy samples, ☛ see page 20.

Note

Note

❐ Default: level 5

You can adjust the background density control.

Reference

❐ For copy samples, ☛ see page 20.

Note

❐ Default: level 5 ❐ If copying a newspaper or an original with a dark background, adjust the background

density to a lighter setting.

❐ If part of the original is marked with a highlighting pen, adjust the background density

to a darker setting. However, because the color of a highlighting pen is difficult to duplicate, it might be copied in different colors or some colors might not be copied.

You can make copies in pastel tones.

Reference

❐ For copy samples, ☛ see page 20.

U.C.R. Adjustment

A.C.S. (Auto Color Selection) Sensitivity

Text/Photo Sensitivity

Note

❐ Default: level 9 which yields a normal color copy

Y ou can adjust the black toner density to make the black parts clearer in Full Color mode.

Note

❐ Default: level 5 ❐ Adjust this setting to a darker setting when you want to copy letter parts clearly in

black.

❐ Adjust this setting to a lighter setting when the original image is dark.

You can adjust the sensitivity when detecting whether the original has color areas in Auto Color Select mode. When set to “B&W” values, the machine will be more likely to detect originals as black originals. “Full Color” values will cause the machine to be more likely to detect originals as color originals.

Note

❐ Default: level 3

You can adjust the sensitivity when detecting letter and photo parts of an original in Text/ Photo mode. If letter parts photo parts of an original are not differentiated correctly , adjust this setting.

appear different.

❐ If the total percentage of the mixed colors is too low, it may not be bonded to the paper properly resulting in a change

in image density.

Notes for Designating Areas

The number of the points, areas, and groups that can be designated

Note

❐ Maximum number of points: 500 ❐ In Right Angle Polygon mode, Polygon mode, or Line mode, the maximum number of points for one area is 30. ❐ The number of areas that can be designated is as follows:

• Rectangle mode: maximum 250 areas

• Right Angle Polygon mode, Polygon mode, Line mode: 500 points maximum. For example, if 10 points are desig-

nated for each area, the maximum number of areas that can be designated is 50.

• Closed Loop mode, Multi-Closed Loop mode: maximum 500 areas

❐ Maximum number of groups: 20

(“Group” means a set of areas that you want to do same editions.)

Note

❐ Do not designate an area or line which overlaps part of another area or line. If an area overlaps another one, the job

settings specified last will be applied to the overlapped portion or those areas might not be copied.

❐ However, areas containing areas (see below) are permitted. Designate starting with the outermost area.

1 2

GCAREA4E

These operations are available, however, under the following conditions:

• When designating areas with Closed Loop mode, Multi-closed Loop or Line/Frame mode.

❐ If you mark a line and it overlaps another line you have previously marked, the last point you marked will be canceled

automatically.

❐ If you designate an area in Right Angle Polygon mode, make sure to mark points that make right angles. If you mark a

point which does not match, the editor will automatically correct it to make a right angle.

❐ If you want to designate a triangular area, use Polygon mode. ❐ In Closed Loop mode or Multi-Closed Loop mode, the machine might not detect a closed loop area or multi-closed loop

area completely under the following conditions:

• The outline is not completely closed, it is too light to detect, or the thickness is uneven.

• The outline is thinner than 0.3mm.

• The outline is not black.

• The space between two closed loop outlines is less than 1mm.

• The closed loop can be up to 2 meters long.

• The area enclosed by the outline is not white.

❐ The more areas you designate, the more time copying will take. ❐ If you erase an area, group, or job setting, it is cleared from the display. However, the points are still stored in memory

and are not cleared until you exit Area Editing. This affects the maximum number of areas you can designate.

❐ Closed Loop mode Multi-Closed Loop mode and Frame/Line mode cannot be used with Rectangle mode, Right Angle

Polygon mode, and Polygon mode for one group at a time.

❐ If you need to align areas precisely , you can have a grid shown on the enlarged display . The grid spacing matches the

scale of the display.

Selecting Modes for Designated Areas

Reference

The available modes for area editing depend on the area shape. ☛ See page 164. For functions that cannot be used together in area editing, ☛ see page 164. More than one mode can be set for designated area, however, there are some limitations, ☛ see page 164. And up to 7

patterns of modes can be set together.

Note

❐ Up to 20 groups of multiple areas can be edited. All the areas should belong to groups 1 ~ 20.

You can select up to seven job patterns for at most 20 groups. After you have set seven patterns, the copier will only allow you to choose the pattern of a previous group. If you change the settings for one group, it will change the settings for all other groups with the same job pattern. However, if you have set a Paint, Color Background, or Frame/ Line, changing the color in one group will not affect other groups. (Up to 15 colors can be selected.)

❐ The modes that can be set for inside areas as follows:

• Color/Image Adjustment: Image Density, Color Mode, Original Type, Image Adjustment, Color Adjustment, Color Balance Adjustment

• Color Creation: Color Conversion, Color Erase, Color Background, Paint, Type Mask

• Image Creation: Outline Image, Shadow Image, Slanted Image, Mirror Image, Positive/Negative

Note

❐ The editing functions available when specifying area with Frame/Line mode are Width and Color. ❐ Color/Image Adjustment’s default setting:

• Image Density - Manual Image Density

• Color Mode - Black

• Original Type - Text

❐ You can change the default settings. ☛ See page 187. ❐ Depending on the shapes of the areas, coloring or deleting near the outlines of the areas might not do well, or the

outlines might become uneven.

❐ The way to set modes is basically the same as for the entire image. For details, refer to each page.
