Adjusting the color
balance
1
The printer can implement compensation
periodically using auto density compensation
mode, but implement this adjustment to adjust
the color balance watermarks in the intervals
where auto density compensation is insufficient.

Note
z The densities of each color are mutually dependent, so it
is necessary to repeat the adjustments several times until
the correct color balance is reached.
3
z Printing is disabled if [Local print] in the (optional) print
job accounting is set to [Disable printing] or [Disable color
printing].
