Gray Adjustment

After prolonged use, or from the effects of surrounding temperature or humidity, the hue of printed color output
may shift or color drift may occur. Use this function to correct color settings when the color of a finished copy
does not match the original. Perform color calibration before using gray adjustment (see page 8-51). Use gray
adjustment when the color is not enhanced even after performing color calibration.
Normal and detailed gray adjustment is available. While normal adjustment will almost completely eliminate
errors in color tones, you can also use detailed adjustment for stubborn color tone problems or where more
precise adjustment is needed.
