Adjusting the Color Density (Bias Adjustment)
The printer panel provides an interface to adjust the density of the toner applied to the media. This
feature compensates for the changes in density that can occur as environmental conditions change,
toner cartridges or the color imaging unit age.
Perform the following steps to adjust the color density:
1. Print a color calibration page to confirm the current density (Bias Adjustment) and compare the
color calibration page with the provided color calibration card (see below).
2. If you wish to adjust the density for all colors simultaneously, proceed to “Adjusting the Density for
All Colors Simultaneously” (see
page 23
).
OR
If you wish to adjust the density for each color independently, proceed to “Adjusting the Density for
Each Color Independently” (see
pages 24, 25
).
