Color Settings

The print-quality mode and TekColor correction directly control the quality of your prints. You
can change these settings in the printer driver or at the printer's front panel.
Note
Driver settings override the printer's front panel settings.
For more information on using color, go to
Documentation CD-ROM.

Color Calibration

Color calibration procedures adjust the printer for optimal color output. Color settings may
need adjustment upon initial printer setup or when toner cartridges and imaging units are
replaced. There are two procedures: "Lighten/Darken Colors" and "Balance Colors." If the
overall image appears either too light or dark, use the Lighten/Darken Colors procedure. If a
finer adjustment of the primary colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) is needed, continue with
the Balance Colors procedure.

Lighten/Darken Colors

The Lighten/Darken Colors procedure uniformly increases or decreases each primary color
(cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to produce a lighter or darker image.
Procedure:
1. At the printer's front panel, select Troubleshooting, then press the OK button.
2. Select Print Quality
3. Select Calibrate Colors, then press the OK button.

prints. Use this page to evaluate the lightness/darkness of the image. The printer's current
Lighten/Darken Value is displayed on the page.
