What To Look For; Interpreting The Test Print - Xerox 1235/DX - Phaser Color Laser Printer Advanced Features And Troubleshooting Manual

What To Look For

There are three things to look for in examining the test print.
The Color Density and the Black Density are a matter of taste. The 30% halftones can
I
be used to judge the current level and decide on a preference.
The Color Density and Black Density should be at approximately the same level. This
I
is important in order to make the Color Balance adjustment.
The correct Color Balance is determined by comparing the circle in the center of the
I
Color Balance object marked "CURRENT" with the gray background. The background
is produced using black only and the circles are produced using a combination of
cyan, magenta and yellow. The adjustment objective is for the "CURRENT" circle to
be the closest gray of any of the circles when compared to the gray background.

Interpreting the Test Print

The Color Balance test print contains numbered
images that indicate possible adjustments that
can be made. You can choose to make an
adjustment to the Color Density, the Black
Density, or the Color Balance.
The Black Density Images, numbered
I
-3K...0,...+3K, show a lightness/darkness
range of 30% halftones using black only.
The Color Density Images, numbered
I
-3CMY...0,...+3CMY, show a
lightness/darkness range of 30% gray
halftones using three colors (cyan, magenta,
yellow).
The Color Balance Images, numbered
I
0,10,11,...21, show variations of three-color
gray. Each of these circles contains gray with
tints of other colors.
