PROBLEMS RELATED TO PRINT RESULTS

Problem
The image is grainy.
The image is too light
or too dark.
Colors are off.
Text and lines are faint
and difficult to see.
Point to check
Have the peripheral devices that are
installed on the machine been
configured in the printer driver?
Point to check
Are the printer driver settings
appropriate for the print job?
Does the image (particularly a photo)
need correction?
(Windows)
Did you perform "Registration
Adjustment"?
Was color data printed in black and
white?
(Windows)
Open the printer properties and click the [Auto
Configuration] button on the [Configuration] tab.
(Windows)
If auto configuration cannot be executed, see the
Software Setup Guide.
When selecting print settings, you can set the print
mode to [Normal], [High Quality], or [Fine]. When you
need a very clear image, select [Fine]. (The [Fine] mode
cannot be selected when using the PCL5c printer
driver.)
Windows:
The resolution setting is selected in the [Advanced]
tab of the printer driver properties window.
Macintosh:
Select the resolution in the [Advanced] menu of the
print window. (In Mac OS v10.5, select the resolution
on the [Color] menu in the print window.)
Brightness and contrast can be corrected by performing
[Color Adjustment] on the [Color] tab of the printer
driver. These settings can be used for simple
corrections when you do not have image editing
software installed on your computer.
Ask your administrator to perform "Registration
Adjustment".
➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Device Control" >
"Other Settings" > "Registration Adjustment"
If the color tones are off, perform "Auto Color
Calibration". (If the colors are still off after calibration,
repeating calibration may improve the results.)
➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Printer Settings" >
"Auto Color Calibration"
When color text and lines are printed in black and white,
they may become faint and difficult to see. To have
color text or lines (areas) that are faint converted to
black, select [Text To Black] or [Vector To Black] on the
[Color] tab of the printer driver. (Raster data such as
bitmap images cannot be adjusted.)
