Correcting the Color Gradation

Color gradation during color printing changes slightly, depending on a number of
factors. If you print the same file repeatedly or toner was recently replaced,
changes may occur in color tones. When this happens, to obtain suitable print
results, color gradation can be corrected, although it is not usually necessary to
make any particular settings.
❒ If suitable results cannot be obtained after a single operation, repeat the cor-
rection several times, as needed.
❒ Corrections to color gradation will be applied to all user jobs.
❒ Use the same paper when printing a run of gradation corrections. If a different
type of paper is used, corrections may not be apparent.
❒ This requires the use of the supplied Color Calibration Sample Sheet.
❒ Corrections to color gradation are performed in the following order:

Set the Gradation Correction Value

During printing, you can correct the gradation in two areas: bright part (highlight)
and the medium (middle). The correction value for the highlight and the medium
parts are set using "Calibr.1" and "Calibr.2" respectively.
