Color Printing Problems

Cannot print in color

Cause
Black is selected as the Color setting in the printer
driver.
The color setting in the application you are using is
not appropriate for color printing.
One of the imaging cartridges may be the end of its
service life but printing was continued by pressing
N Start/Stop button.

The printout color differs when printed from different printers

Cause
Printer driver default settings and color tables vary by
printer model.

The color looks different from what you see on the computer screen

Cause
Printed colors do not exactly match the colors on
your monitor, since printers and monitors use different
color systems: monitors use RGB (red, green, and
blue), while printers typically use CMYK (cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black).
For Macintosh, the System Profile setting is not in use.
PhotoEnhance may be selected in the printer driver.

What to do
Change this setting to Color.
Make sure that the settings in your application are
appropriate for color printing.
If a Replace Toner uuuu error occurs, replace the imaging
cartridge without pressing the N Start/Stop button. See
"Imaging Cartridge" on page 202.
What to do
Set the Gamma setting to 1.8 in the More Settings dialog box
in the printer driver, then print again. If you still do not get the
printouts you expect, adjust the color using the slide bar for
each color. For details about the More Settings dialog box,
see the printer driver's online help.
What to do
Although it is difficult to match colors perfectly, selecting the
printer driver's ICM setting (for Windows) or ColorSync setting
(for Macintosh) can improve color matching between
different devices. For details, see the printer driver's online
help.
To apply ColorSync properly, your input device and the
application must support ColorSync, and a System Profile must
be used for your monitor.
The PhotoEnhance feature corrects the contrast and
brightness of the original image data, and so may not be
suitable for printing vivid images.
