Color quality guide

This Color Quality guide is intended to help users understand how operations available on the printer can be used 
to adjust and customize color output. A brief description of the purpose and operation of the functions available 
that affect color output is provided. Additionally, some helpful suggestions are provided on how to use these 
functions to produce desirable color output and to solve certain color related problems commonly experienced by 
users.

Color Menu

Selections available in the Color Menu provide the user with multiple options that can adjust color characteristics 
of the printer.

Note: Values marked by an asterisk (*) are the factory default settings. Values selected in the printer 

PostScript or PCL drivers for Windows will override printer settings.
