Default Setting (System Menu) Short Item Standard Long Description Sets a short color calibration cycle and increases the number of times performed, with priority to image quality.

Gray Adjustment After prolonged use, or from the effects of surrounding temperature or humidity, the hue of printed color output may shift or color drift may occur. Use this function to correct color settings when the color of a finished copy does not match the original. Perform color calibration before using gray adjustment (see page 8-62). Use gray adjustment when the color is not enhanced even after performing color calibration. Normal and detailed gray adjustment is available. While normal adjustment will almost completely eliminate errors in color tones, you can also use detailed adjustment for stubborn color tone problems or where more precise adjustment is needed. NOTE: To perform gray adjustment, verify that either 11 × 8 1/2" or A4 paper is loaded into a cassette. Normal adjustment A total of 3 color pattern pages (No. 1 to 3) are printed during normal adjustment. The printed color patterns are read sequentially during the adjustment. Use the procedure below for normal adjustment. 1 Press the System Menu key. 2 Press [ ], [Adjustment/Maintenance], [ ] and then [Next] of Gray Adjustment. 3 Press [Execute]. A color pattern is printed. Check that the number "1" is printed at the bottom of the color pattern. 8-62 OPERATION GUIDE
