● Printing speed may be slow if this function is used. If you want to prioritize the speed, select [Not Specified] from [Custom
Gamma Adjustment].
● Some applications can specify the half-tone settings. If you use these functions, select [Not Specified] from [Custom
Gamma Adjustment].
● If you are using Windows, [Custom Gamma Adjustment] menu or the contents may not be displayed on the [Color] tab of
the printer driver. In this case, restart your computer.
● If you are using an application before registering the half-tone adjustment name, restart the application before printing.
● The registered half-tone adjustment name is effective for all printers of the same type if multiple printers are saved in the
[Devices and Printers] folder.
● The adjustment result of this utility is not reflected in normal white printing.
However, if [CMYW Link] is selected in the [CMYK Link Profile] setting of the printer driver, the black adjustment result in
this utility is reflected in white printing.
To set [CMYK Link Profile], do as follows.
