Performing Color Calibration Using the Operation Panel Use color calibration to correct color tones on printing paper. Note • Perform color calibration in the following cases: • After initial printer installation • If colors seem different from before, despite having the same environmental and printing conditions • To ensure uniform color when printing on multiple printers (However, be sure to use the same version of firmware and printer driver and the same settings.) • We recommend performing color calibration using the same paper as you use for printing. Paper that Can Be Used in Color Calibration • Before performing color calibration, perform print head cleaning or print head alignment. This improves the precision of color calibration. If the remaining ink level for an ink tank is low, replace an ink tank. • You can also perform color calibration using the computer. Executing Color Calibration from Quick Utility Toolbox (Windows) Executing Color Calibration from Quick Utility Toolbox (Mac OS) 1. Make sure that the power is turned on. Important • In order to increase the color stability precision when executing color calibration, maintain a constant temperature and humidity environment each time within the range of temperatures of 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C) and within the range of humidities of 40 to 60%. Executing color calibration under various temperature and humidity conditions may prevent the printers from making the correct adjustments. • Before color calibration, ensure the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light. If the printer is exposed to strong sources of light, correct adjustment may not be possible. 2. Select Maintenance on the HOME screen, then press the OK button.
