Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer
if you use a different version of the firmware or printer driver,
or when you print under different settings or in a different
printing environment.
Follow these steps to prepare the printing environment.
1.
Use the same version of firmware or printer driver.
(See "Updating the Firmware.")
→User's Guide
2.
Specify the same value for all settings items.

When reinstalling the printer driver, you changed the region
selection of the Media Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration
Tool deletes the region-specific paper information originally
registered on the printer before installation. Using paper with
deleted information when executing color calibration will pre-
vent the resulting calibration adjustment value from being ap-
plied to all other types of the paper.
Prepare paper compatible with calibration in the newly selected region
and perform calibration again.
