Overview
Color calibration procedures adjust the printer for optimal color output. Color settings may need adjustment upon initial
printer set-up or when toners and imaging units are replaced. There are two procedures:
Balance
Colors. If the overall image appears either too light or dark, use the
adjustment of the primary colors (cyan, magenta and yellow) are needed, continue with the
Lighten/Darken Colors

black) to produce a lighter or darker image.
Procedure:

Lighten/Darken Colors

Balance Colors
The Balance Colors procedure sets the balance between the primary colors (cyan, magenta and yellow) to simulate black.
Each of the color balance pages (like the page illustrated on the right) contains a
large cluster of circles, numbered from 0 to 54, that vary in hue.
The center circle (0) should match or appear to blend with some portion of its
surrounding hexagonal gray ring. The circle can show a color shift if one or more
of the colors are printing with a different density. For example, if cyan is printing
lighter than normal, the circle will appear redder.
