Adjustment on the video monitor
The monitor color may not be adjusted correctly even if the
printer color is correctly adjusted. Check the color of the
video monitor before adjusting the printout color. In such
a case, use the THRU signal by setting SOURCE to THRU
on the OUTPUT SETUP menu or turning off the power of
the printer to send out the through signal from the video
equipment to the video monitor.
After adjusting the color of the video monitor using video
monitor controls, adjust the color of the printer’s output
signal.
Adjustment on the printer
Note
This adjustment is performed to adjust the color of the
printer output signal when the monitor color is
unsatisfactory. This adjustment does not affect the printout
itself. To adjust the color of the printout, see “Adjusting the
Printout Color” on page 46 and “Specifying Colors for
Adjustment (HSV Adjustment)” on page 52.

Adjusting the Printout Color
You can adjust the printout quality by adjusting the color
intensity, printout contrast and sharpness and tone
(GAMMA) of the printout.
Adjusting the color intensity, contrast and
sharpness
You can store up to three types of settings and manage
these settings using the LOAD COLOR numbers 1, 2 and
3. The color intensity, picture contrast and sharpness of a
printout are determined by recalling one of the three
settings according to their LOAD COLOR numbers. This
is useful when you are using more than one item of video
equipment, each having different characteristics, when you
want to print images having different color qualities and
picture contrast, or when multiple users access a single
printer.
Also, you can make a printout using temporarily set values,
without clearing the stored adjustment values.
