Press ▲ or ▼ to select AutoAdjst(HiPrc) and then press OK to execute color calibration.
The system then prints the test pattern built into the printer, performs color measurement, and automatically
sets the adjustment value.

Features of Color Calibration Using the Spectrophotometer Unit
Color calibration improves color consistency by compensating for slight differences in how color appears when printing
due to individual variations or aging among the printers.
Executing color calibration from the Spectrophotometer Unit prints a test pattern (built into the printer), which will be
measured automatically by the Spectrophotometer Sensor on the Spectrophotometer Unit.
The printer is then configured with calibration adjustment values reflecting the results of color measurement.
By using the Spectrophotometer Unit, you can execute color calibration with higher precision compared to using the
printer sensor.
• In order to increase the color stability precision when executing color calibration, maintain a constant temperature and hu-
midity environment each time within the range of temperatures of 15 to 30°C and within the range of humidities of 40 to 60%.
Important
Executing color calibration under various temperature and humidity conditions may prevent the printer from making the cor-
rect adjustments.
• Before color calibration, ensure the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.
If the printer is exposed to strong sources of light, correct adjustment may not be possible.
Recommend Timing for Color Calibration
We recommend color calibration in the following situations.
After initial printer installation
•
After Printhead replacement
