Adjusting the Color Balance
You should use the ink ribbon and paper that are
contained in the same package as a pair. The color
balance may differ depending on each pair.
It is recommended that you adjust the color balance each
time you load a new set of ink ribbon and paper.
Before adjusting the color balance
• Reset all items on the COLOR ADJUST menu to
defaults. (See “Adjusting the Printout Color” on page
45.)
• Confirm that the source image is displayed. If not,
display the source image on the video monitor by
using the SOURCE/MEMORY button.
