Calibrating the Printer
Calibration performs three primary adjustments:
•
Color registration
• Toner density
• Toner reproduction curve (used for converting screen colors to CMYK values)
For optimum print quality, the printer automatically performs a calibration cycle after the following
events:
•
A toner cartridge has been replaced.
• The imaging unit has been replaced.
• 200 pages have printed since the last calibration.
• A big temperature or humidity change has occurred.
• The printer is restarted after settings have been changed.
Normally you would not need to perform a calibration routine unless you are having problems with
printing colors.
To perform a manual calibration cycle:
1. On the printer control panel, press the
Back/Menu
button to enter the System Menu.
2. Press the
Down Arrow
button to go to
General Setup
and then press the
OK
button.
3. Arrow down to
Calibrate Now?
and press
OK
.
4. Arrow up to
Yes
and press
OK
. The printer performs a calibration cycle, which takes about 2
minutes.
