3-18 Color Calibration
7. Press Yes to print the Limits and 30% Match page.
To reset the printer’s toner density and luminosity settings, follow the
instructions provided on the Limits and 30% Match page. Use the touch
screen to change numbers; do not use the numerical keypad.
NOTE: Zero (0) and 9 are unacceptable values for color calibration. If you
select 0 for any of the colors, the resulting calibration will be inaccurate. If
the entered value for any color is 0 or 9, the Limits and 30% Match page is
reprinted automatically. Re-enter values for all color rows starting with Black
Start.
When you have finished entering all values, the PRINT GRAYS screen appears.
8. Press Yes to print the Gray Balance page.
To reset the printer’s gray balance, follow the instructions provided on the
Gray Balance page. When you have finished entering all values, the PRINT
COLOR TEST
screen appears.
NOTE: If the Gray Balance page is printed after the Limits calculations have
been made, the gray field on which the CMY patches appear on the Limits
page will use the new density and luminosity calibration settings.
9. Select Yes to print the Canon Comparison Page.
10. If you are satisfied with the printer’s calibration based on the new values,
select YES from the APPLY CHANGES screen that appears, and press OK to
calibrate the printer based on the previously entered values.
11. Choose Exit Calibration to return to the Functions menu.
Use the following suggestions for adjusting VisualCal for your specific
preferences:
• If your print seem to be color balanced but too dark, enter a lower value for
the 30% Match entry on the Limits and 30% Match page, last row.
• If your print seems too light, enter a higher value.
• If light areas on your prints have a color cast, enter a lower value in the
Start row for that toner.
• If dark areas on your prints have a color cast, enter a higher value in the
End row for that toner.
