If you print the same file repeatedly or toner was recently replaced, changes may occur in color tones. When this happens, to obtain suitable print results, color gradation can be corrected, although it is not usually necessary to make any particular settings. If suitable results cannot be obtained after a single operation, repeat the correction several times, as needed. If a different type of paper is used, corrections may not be apparent. This requires the use of the supplied Color Calibration Sample Sheet. Corrections to color gradation are performed in the following order: Set the Gradation Correction Value During printing, you can correct the gradation in two areas: bright part (highlight) and the medium (middle). The correction value for the highlight and the medium parts are set using "Calibr. 1" and "Calibr. 2" respectively. 72 Adjusting the Printer A Press the {Menu} key. "Menu" appears on the display. B Press the {U} or {T} key to display "Maintenance", and then press the {# Enter} key. Menu: Maintenance The maintenance menu appears. C Press the {U} or {T} key to display "Color Calibrate", and then press the {# Enter} key. If you perform only correction 2, proceed to step L. D Check "Start Calibr. E Check "Yes" is displayed, and press {# Enter} key to print gradation correction sheet 1. F Set the gradation correction value of the highlighted part using correc- tion 1. For setting K (black) gradation, hold the correction value (0-6) for "K" of the correction value setting sheet 1 over the color sample (K) for gradation correction 1 of the Color Calibration Sample Sheet, and set the numerical value of the closest color using either the {U} or {T} key. Set the correction value using the supplied Color Calibration Sample Sheet and the gradation correction sheet 1 printed in the previous step. Set M (magenta), C (cyan), and Y (yellow) using the same method. Calibrate 1: K:3 M:3 C/Y:3/3 73 Adjusting the Printer Each time the {U} or {T} key is pressed, the value increases or decreases respectively, in increments of 1. The correction value can be set between 0 and 6. G Press the {# Enter} key after setting the K (black) gradation. The cursor shifts to M (magenta). Calibrate 1: K:2 M:3 C/Y:3/3 H Set the gradation correction values for M (magenta), C (cyan), and Y (yellow) using the same procedure as for the K (black). I If you finished all settings, ensure that the cursor is on the correction value for Y (yellow), and then press the {# Enter} key. Calibrate 1: K:2 M:2 C/Y:2/2 The example shows the display of the control panel when the correction value for each color is changed to 2. J Check "Yes" is displayed, and press the {# Enter} key to print the correction result. K Check gradation correction sheet 1. To save the correction values, check "Save and exit" is displayed and press the {# Enter} key. If you do not want to save the correction values after this procedure, press the {U} or {T} key to display "Exit don't sav", and then press the {# Enter} key. If you complete this procedure without saving the correction values, the changes will not be applied to subsequent print jobs. Calibrate 1: Save and exit Calibrate 1: Exit don't sav This concludes the setting for correction 1. Next, proceed to correction 2. L Press the {T} key to display "Start Calibr.

The number of printable pages varies depending on which of the two different types of toner cartridge you have installed. If toner cartridges are not changed when necessary, printing will become impossible. The actual number of printable pages varies depending on the image volume and density, number of pages to be printed at a time, paper type and paper size used, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Toner cartridges may need to be changed sooner than indicated above due to deterioration over the period of use. [. . . ]
