Using the Calibration Page
Use the calibration page to test and maintain optimal print quality, or
to compare your printer’s quality to that of other printers. The calibra-
tion image contains a gray-scale chart that lets you check print den-
sity and gamma correction to get the best possible gray scaling from
your printer.
In addition, the calibration page can serve as a quick reference to
help you determine whether to use a lower or higher resolution for a
print job. Simply print a calibration page at one resolution, then reset
the printer to the other resolution and print another page. By compar-
ing the two pages, it’s easy to see the difference in screens (fre-
quency and angle), in type quality, and in precision of curves and
diagonal lines.
