Calibrate The Color; Setting The Color Registration - Oki OKICOLOR8 Setup Manual

Calibrate the
11
Color
This is an important process to make sure
your OKICOLOR 8 gives you sharp, accurate
color images. There are two parts:
1 Color Registration, and
2 Color Balance.

Setting the Color Registration

Since each color is printed separately, you
must set the color registration to ensure that
the colors line up properly. If the colors are
out of alignment, the printed page will appear
blurry and unclear.
To ensure optimum print quality, you should
set the color registration on a routine basis
(once a month or so).
We also recommend that you set the color
registration when you change image drums,
or if you move the printer.
