Instructions
1. If the print density controls are not in the default
position, set the print density controls to the default
position (0
°
).
2. If the print density controls were changed in step 1,
reprint this Color Balance Adjustment Page.
3. Check the black squares and bars for excessive
toner density. If there is any feathering at the top of
the bars and squares, turn the black print density
control slightly to the minus direction.
4. The printer is in balance if the color of the center
swatch within the larger target square closely
match. If the squares do not match, continue to
step 5. Otherwise, you may stop.
5. Find the swatch to the left that is most neutral or
gray in color.
6. Adjust the print density control represented by the
swatch by the amount and direction indicated
relative to its current position. For example, if the
top, left swatch is most gray, then adjust the
cyan print density control 90
°
in the minus
direction.
7. Reprint this Color Balance Adjustment Page.
8. Repeat steps 4-7.
