achieve accurate alignment, since they are interdependent.
However, the whole process can be completed in about 10
minutes, and should not often need readjustment.
Adjusting Colour Balance
Your printer uses three primary colours plus black mixed in
appropriate proportions to print images in a wide range of
colours. The relative density of each primary colour determines
the actual colour printed. This property is known as colour
balance.
Although the printer and its consumables are all manufactured
to very high standards of precision, very small variances in
manufacture, as well as variations in paper composition and
printing environment, can cause minor shifts in colour balance
to occur from time to time.
You can easily make fine adjustments to colour balance using
the operator panel controls on your printer. Your printer has a
built-in test pattern to help you.
Since colour balance is affected by the particular paper
you will print on, you should load that paper type before
making these adjustments.
1. Press the ON LINE key if necessary to take the printer
OFF LINE.
2. Press and hold the MENU 1 / Menu 2 key until the message
COLOR REG ADJUST appears in the display panel, then
release the button.
