3. Printer-specific Adjustments

Mac

For Macintosh

* This adjustment will have an effect only on full-color printing.

Open the print dialog box. Change the "Color Settings 2" - “Color Balance” option, the “Brightness” or

“Saturation” option.

* Initially, change the value by 4 steps, while checking the printouts until the optimum value is obtained.

After changing the option on the printer driver, print and check the print image quality.

If further image quality adjustments are still necessary, the service technician must use the next procedure.
