9-32 Phaser 550 Color Printer
Generally, no print engine calibration is required. Using its closed-loop, image
density sensors, the printer can self-calibrate its color output. Usually, if you
note a print defect, replacing a toner cartridge, the imaging unit or the transfer
roller (or perhaps the paper feeder) corrects the problem.
Correcting printer colors is accomplished either semi-automatically or manually.
In either case you use front panel menus to make the corrections.
