Color Menu

The printer automatically adjusts color balance and density at

appropriate intervals, optimizing the printed output for bright

white paper viewed in natural daylight conditions. The items

on this menu provide a means of changing the default settings

for special or particularly difficult print jobs.

Notes:

Factory default settings are shown in

bold

Settings with a dagger (†) only appear when the

appropriate option is installed.

AUTO

MANUAL

If set to AUTO, image density will be

automatically adjusted at power on,

when a new image drum or toner

cartridge is installed, and at intervals of

100, 300 and 500 drum counts. If a 500

drum count interval occurs during a

print job it will occur at the end of that

job, and will take up to 55 seconds. If

set to manual, this adjustment will only

be performed when initiated by the next

menu item.
