The printer calibrates the color by printing a 'calibration strip' and then scanning the strip with a built-in optical sensor. The printer will then calculate the color correction required, which is then applied to all the subsequent prints. The Color Calibration is performed whenever a printhead is replaced, and a new media type is introduced that has not been calibrated yet with the new printhead(s). This can be turned of however and a default color correction is used for each of the media that is known. Calibrating the Color Output The menu settings for Color calibration are: On The printer uses the calibration the printer has performed before printing a page. The printer performs the calibration whenever you introduce a new media type that has not been calibrated yet with the current set of printheads. A color calibration can also be triggered manually via the Calibrations menu. Off The printer uses a default color correction, different for each media type and print quality setting. Go to Menu Setup/Internal RIP Settings/Color Calibration. Refer to page 18, in section Use the Front-Panel on the reverse of this guide to see the menu. IMAGE QUALITY file:///D|/hydra/ug_loc/f
