Executing Calibration - Dell C7765dn User Manual

Executing Calibration

Calibrate the machine regularly to correct and ensure consistency of printing colors over
time, environment and devices.
Select a screen type on the [Calibration] screen and execute calibration, and calibration data
for that screen type will be saved. The saved calibration data will be applied to the job when
that type of screen is to be used for the job. Which type of screen is to be used for the job
will be determined by the job settings.
The following four screen types can be selected on the [Calibration] screen.
• Copy Job 1
The calibration data for [Copy Job 1] will be applied when [Text], [Photo & Text], or
[Map] is selected for [Original Type].
• Copy Job 2
The calibration data for [Copy Job 2] will be applied when [Photo] is selected for [Original
Type].
• Print Job 1
