Problems with print quality

For information about printing with specific applications and about
optimizing color output, see the Color Guide.
• Make sure you did not override the setting for the job in another place.
For information about options and overrides, see Appendix A.
• Does your application require one of iR C2100/2100S's printer description
files?
If you're printing from Adobe PageMaker, make sure the iR C2100/2100S
printer description file is installed correctly. For information about installing
these files, see Getting Started.
• Make sure the system has been calibrated.
For instructions, see the Color Guide.
• Make sure the file was initially created as separations.
• If you are printing separations or a DCS format file, set the Combine
Separations print option to On.
With Combine Separations On, all four colors will be printed on a single
page; with Combine Separations Off, four black-and-white pages will print
to simulate four single-color plates.
• Ask the operator to print a test page with the copier/printer.
The problem may be with the copier/printer. If your test page shows that the
copier/printer is working properly, correct the problem within your
application software. If the test page is wrong, your copier/printer may need
to be calibrated or adjusted in some other way.
• Adjust the Brightness option.
You can use the Brightness option when printing from an application or
from Fiery Downloader to lighten your image whenever you print a
PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file.
