Color Shift (Adjusting the Color Tone)
This feature allows you to adjust the tone of the colors to be reproduced in copies, by
a maximum of two levels in two directions.
On the screen, the [Original Color] slider represents the color tone of the original
document, and the [Copy Color] slider represents the color tone of output copies.
Selecting a button on the screen moves the [Original Color] slider to adjust the tone of
the colors.
When the [Original Color] slider is moved to the left, the Y (yellow) cell on the [Original
Color] slider becomes closer to the R (red) cell on the [Copy Color] slider, and thus a
yellow fruit appears more reddish and riper-looking. At the same time, the tone of all
the other colors changes. The red color appears more magentish, and the green color
appears more yellowish.
Conversely, when the [Original Color] slider is moved to the right, the Y (yellow) cell on
the [Original Color] slider becomes closer to the G (green) cell on the [Copy Color]
slider, and thus a yellow fruit appears more greenish. At the same time, the tone of all
the other colors changes. The magenta color appears more reddish, and the red color
appears more yellowish.
