Software Installation Installing The Software (Windows) - Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6300S Basic Guide No.2 Basic Manual

Phenomenon
Printed colors are inaccurate
Cause
Color adjustment has not been
activated in the Advanced
Settings of the printer driver.
Colors have not been adjusted on
the computer or monitor.
The Printhead nozzles are
clogged.
In the Windows printer driver,
Application Color Matching
Priority is not selected.
There may be a slight difference
in how colors are printed after
Printhead replacement because
of individual variation among
printheads.
Printhead characteristics gradually
change through repeated use, and
colors may change.
Color may change slightly even
on the same model of printer if
you use a different version of the
firmware or printer driver, or when
you print under different settings or
in a different printing environment.
When reinstalling the printer driver,
you changed the region selection
of the Media Configuration Tool .
Changing the region selection
of the Media Configuration Tool
deletes the region-specific paper
information originally registered
on the printer before installation.
Using paper with deleted
information when executing color
calibration will prevent the resulting
calibration adjustment value from
being applied to all other types of
the paper.
Corrective Action
In the Advanced Settings of the printer driver, access
Color Settings in Color Mode to adjust colors.
Refer to the computer and monitor documentation to
adjust the colors.
Adjust the settings of the color management software,
referring to the software documentation as needed.
Print a test pattern to check the nozzles and see if
they are clogged.
