The printer driver settings are given priority. For menu details, see "Main Menu Settings". (→P.49) For information on printer driver settings, refer to the following topics. • Printer Driver Settings (Windows) (→P.507) • Printer Driver Settings (Mac OS X) (→P.558) • Printer Driver Settings (Mac OS 9) (→P.584) • Before color calibration, ensure the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light. • If you reinstall the printer driver and change the region selection of the Media Conguration Tool, region-specic paper information originally registered on the printer before installation will be deleted. If the information of paper you used for color calibration is deleted, such color calibration can no longer be applied to any type of paper. To apply the results of color calibration, perform color calibration again using paper supported in the newly selected region and compatible with color calibration. See the Media Conguration Tool Guide (Windows) or Media Conguration Tool Guide (Macintosh) Maintenance 665
