Correcting the Color Gradation

Color gradation during color printing
v a rie s sl ig h t ly d e p e n d in g o n a
number of factors. If you print the
same file repeatedly or toner was re-
cently replaced, changes may occur in
2
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.
Note
❒ If suitable results cannot be ob-
tained after a single operation, re-
peat the correction 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, cor-
rections may not be apparent.
❒ This requires the use of the sup-
plied Color Calibration Sample
Sheet.
