Printing In Ideal Colors For Light In The Viewing Environment - Canon iPF8300S User Manual

Important
• If, when reinstalling the printer driver, you change the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool, the
region-specific paper information originally registered on the printer before installation will be deleted.
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.
To apply the color calibration, prepare paper compatible with color calibration in the newly selected region
and perform color calibration again.

• To restore the default settings, set Reset PaprSetngs to Yes in System Setup in the Control Panel menu.
Because paper information added or modified by the Media Configuration Tool is deleted, if you have cali-
brated the printer using paper with information added by the Media Configuration Tool, color calibration
executed this way can no longer be applied to any type of paper.
If you wish to apply calibration results, prepare calibration-compatible paper that was in the original settings
and perform calibration again.
