or the printer driver.
 Perform the calibration. (See Calibration on page 76.)
Adjust the color by using the custom setting in the printer driver and

in the Improve Gray Color check box of the printer driver. (See

 If shaded areas look dull, remove the check from the
Improve Gray Color check box.

Enhance Black Printing mode in the printer driver. (See Settings
