To print this single-color black at the maximum toner density of the copier/printer, set the Pure Black Text/Graphics option to On. NOTE: This feature - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 23
not available with the PCL driver.

Another way to obtain measurements is by using the copier/printer's built-in scanner as part of AutoCal™ or ColorCal™, which do not require the use of a measurement instrument and can be run from ColorWise Pro Tools or the Fiery X3e Control Panel. When choosing a calibration method, keep in mind - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 40
. • Measurements represent the actual color behavior of the copier/printer. • Calibration sets are sets of measurements. • A calibration target that describes the expected behavior of the copier/printer is contained in each output profile. After you have calibrated the Fiery X3e, a calibration set is - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 41
of changes that will be made to the initial data. Transfer functions are often graphed as input or output curves. The Fiery X3e generates calibration curves after comparing measured values to the final target values for each of the four toner colors. The target values are based on the output profile - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 42
each batch. You should also calibrate the Fiery X3e after copier/printer maintenance. NOTE: Because printed output from the copier/printer is very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, the copier/printer should not be installed near a window or in direct sunlight, or near a heater - Kyocera KM-C2230 | Fiery X3e 22C-KM Color Guide for KM-C2230 - Page 43
