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.
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.
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.
(See "Checking for Nozzle
Clogging (10.2.2).")
Click Special Settings on the Layout
sheet of the printer driver and select
Application Color Matching Priority in
the dialog box.
Adjust the Printhead alignment.
(See "Automatic Adjustment to
Straighten Lines and Colors (Head Posi.
Adj.) (7.1.2).")
(See "Manual Adjustment to Straighten
Lines and Colors (Head Posi.
Adj.) (7.1.3).")
Follow these steps to prepare the printing
environment.
1. Use the same version of firmware
or printer driver.
2. Specify the same value for all
settings items.
