Is the overall print density too light?
Solution
!
■ Use the setting below to change the overall print density.
Select "Settings (administrator)" - [System Settings] → [Image Quality Adjustment] →
[Print Image Quality] → [Quick Image Quality Adjustment]. Set default setting [2] to [3
(Sharp)] to increase the overall density, or [1 (Smooth)] to decrease the overall density.
This setting can be set separately for color mode and monochrome mode.
■ Check the settings of the printer driver.
Correct brightness and contrast with [Image Quality] on the [Color Adjustment]
tab of the printer driver. Use these settings to make simple corrections in a case
such as when image editing software is not installed on your computer.
Solution
!
■ Ask your administrator to perform "Registration Adjustment".
"Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Image Quality Adjustment] →
[Collective Adjustment] → [Registration Adjustment] .
If the color tones are off, perform [Auto Color Calibration (for Print)] after
finishing registration adjustment. (If the colors are still off after calibration,
repeating calibration may improve the results.)
"Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Image Quality Adjustment] →
[Common Functions] → [Auto Color Calibration (for Print)]
Solution

■ Check the settings of the printer driver.
When color text and lines are printed in black and white, they may become faint and
difficult to see. To have color text or lines (areas) that could become faint converted
to black, select [Text To Black] or [Vector To Black] on the [Image Quality] tab of the
printer driver. (Raster data such as bitmap images cannot be adjusted.)
■ Use the setting below to change the overall print density.
Select "Settings (Web version)" - [System Settings] → [Image Quality
Adjustment] → [Print Image Quality] → [Quick Image Quality Adjustment]. Set
default setting [2] to [3 (Sharp)] to increase the overall density, or [1 (Smooth)] to
decrease the overall density.
This setting can be set separately for color mode and monochrome mode.
