MX-3610N ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS 4 – 36
• Factory target in the printer color balance adjustment (Automatic adjustment) (SIM 46-74/67-24)
By use of SIM 67-26, one of the following color balances can be set as the factory color balance target.
Each of the three color balances cannot be changed. (Fixed)
• Service color balance target in the printer color balance adjust-
ment (Automatic adjustment) (SIM 46-74/67-24).
For the service color balance target, an optional color balance
can be adjusted with SIM 67-25 and registered with SIM 67-27.
When, however, SIM 67-28 is executed, the color balance is set
to the same balance as the factory color balance target set with
SIM 67-26.
• Color balance target in the user color balance adjustment
This color balance is same as the service color balance target in
the printer color balance adjustment (Automatic adjustment)
(SIM 46-74/67-24). When, therefore, the service color balance
target is changed, this target is also changed accordingly.
(Meaning of the service color balance target gamma data and the
purpose of registration)
This procedure must be executed only when the color balance is
customized with SIM 67-25.
If the color balance is not customized, this procedure is not
required.
After completion of the customized color balance adjustment (Man-
ual) with SIM 67-25 according to the user's request, use SIM 67-27
to register the service color balance target data by use of the
printed adjustment pattern.
In this case, be sure to use A4 or 11" x 8.5" paper for printing the
adjustment pattern by SIM 67-25.
By this procedure, the service color balance target is revised.
It is recommended to keep the printed adjustment pattern created
with SIM 67-25. This adjustment pattern can be used to register the
same color balance target to another machine.
It is also useful to register the service color balance target data. Do
not fold it and keep it under the circumstances which protect it from
discoloration and dirt.
The service color balance target data is basically registered imme-
diately after the color balance adjustment (Manual) with SIM 67-25.
If a considerable time has passed after completion of the color bal-
ance adjustment (Manual) with SIM 67-25, the color balance of the
adjustment pattern at the time of adjustment differs from the color
balance of the adjustment pattern printed after a considerable time.
Never use such a pattern for the adjustment.
The correctness of the service color balance target data can be
judged as follows.
When result of the color valance adjustment (Auto) with selecting
the service color balance target in SIM 67-24 is unsatisfactory or
abnormal.
In that case, the registered service target data for the color balance
adjustment (Auto) may be improper.
This may be caused when an improper or abnormal color balance
adjustment pattern was used to register the service color balance
target data for the color balance adjustment with SIM 67-27.
The color balance adjustment pattern used in registration was
made and printed by the color balance adjustment (Manual) with
SIM 67-25. This procedure may have been executed erroneously.
a. Setting procedure
(Setting procedure of an optional color balance (gamma) as the
service color balance target)
1)
Use SIM 67-25 (Printer color balance adjustment (manual
adjustment) mode) to print two sheets of the color patch image
(adjustment pattern).
In this case, be sure to use A4 or 11" x 8.5" paper for printing
the adjustment pattern by SIM 67-25.
If the color balance is shifted from the standard, an adjustment
is required. If not, an adjustment is not required. When an
optional color balance is requested by the user, make an
adjustment.
