Printer Driver Gray Adjustment Sheet (Windows) The following settings are available on the Gray Adjustment sheet. Gray Adjustment On the Gray Adjustment sheet, you can adjust the color balance, brightness, contrast, and other image qualities. Note • To display the Gray Adjustment sheet, on the Main Sheet (Windows) (→P.394) , select Monochrome (Photo) by Color Mode in Advanced Settings, and then click Color Settings. • Monochrome (Photo) is not available for all types of paper. Setting Item Description A Sample The image at left is updated to reect any changes you make to setting items on the sheet, enabling you to check the results of adjustment. B Sample List Select a sample image, as desired. C Color Balance Click the list to select a color balance that suits the printing application. DX Adjust the color balance as you check the color tone in the adjustment area. EY You can adjust the square area in the center by clicking or dragging it. Drag the vertical or horizontal scroll bars for adjustment, as desired. You can click the arrows by the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) boxes or enter the values directly.

You can adjust the brightness if the printed document is lighter or darker than the original image (that is, the original photo that was scanned or the original graphic as it appears on the computer screen). G Contrast Adjust the contrast of the darkest and lightest portions relative to each other, as desired. Increasing the Contrast makes images sharper, and reducing the Contrast softens images. H Highlight Adjust the brightness of the lightest portion. I Shadow Adjust the brightness of the darkest portion. K Defaults Click to restore all settings on the sheet to the default values.
