Place the colour chart on test pattern 1 and compare the colours.
For the placement of the colour chart, see page 4.

In column 1 of test pattern 1, locate the colour density level that is the same as "1" in the colour
chart. Mark that level with a pencil or pen to help you remember it.
If none of the levels in column 1 match "1" in the colour chart, do the following:
• If the density level of "1" in the colour chart is darker than the maximum value (+4) in column1, mark "+4"
in column 1.
• If the density level of "1" in the colour chart is lighter than the minimum value (-4) in column1, mark "-4" in
column 1.

Repeat the above step for columns 2 through 12 of test pattern 1, comparing each column with the
corresponding colour in the colour chart.

Enter the levels that you marked on test pattern 1 (each level corresponds to a value from +4 to -4
as indicated on the right ) in the following screen (the screen in Step 6 on the previous page).
