Image Quality Adjustment

Specifying the reference image quality

To stabilize the image quality of this machine, specify the reference values (targets) of the entire printing system in

advance.

If you change the setting value in [Custom Screen], hue variations may be drastically changed. If you change the

screen, specify the standard image quality following the procedure to avoid hue variations.

Tips

If the image quality has not been appropriately adjusted only through daily calibration, you may improve the situation

by carrying out the following tasks.

Carry out the adjustment continuously in sequence. If you have interrupted the adjustment during processing, execute

"STEP2. Gamma Automatic Adj." before restarting the adjustment. For example, if you have interrupted the adjustment

at the end of "STEP3. Density Balance Adjustment (with the

Relay Unit RU-509

installed)", execute "STEP2. Gamma

Automatic Adj." when restarting the adjustment, then execute "STEP4. Color Density Control".

If sufficient adjustment results are not obtained via daily maintenance, also carry out the adjustment in this order.
