6. Printer-specific Adjustments (GA-1211)

6.1 To Maintain a Steady Color Balance

(Calibration)

Before the adjustment

After the adjustment

The color balance varies according to a
change in the environment or a lapse of time.

The color balance is constantly maintained.

Explanation

Color balance varies with a change in the use environment, replacement of the consumables and so forth.

Therefore a periodic adjustment of the color reproducibility (calibration) is needed in order to maintain a steady

color balance on printouts.

“Calibration” in this section indicates that calibration for both a printer engine in the MFP and the Fiery Printer

Controller (GA-1211). Calibration is a basic adjustment to accurately reproduce colors on printouts. If you would

like to accurately reproduce the intended hue or when you have replaced consumables or changed the installation

environments, be sure to perform calibration to ensure the accurate color reproducibility.
