If another circle matches the background more closely, return to step 4 to reset the values on the printer control panel to the number shown in that circle. • Verify that the circles in the neutral axis areas of the test page are neutral gray (gray without a color tint), and then verify that one of the circles in the ramp is a color very close to the background. If the circles are not neutral gray, additional corrections to cyan, magenta, or yellow might be necessary. If there is an overall tint of color in the circles, make the adjustments suggested by the following table. However, the most accurate correction is determined by the circles in the individual black, cyan, magenta, and yellow ramps. 82 Chapter 4 - Using Color EN

Verify that each of the color ramps (cyan, magenta, yellow, and

next to the circle. If another circle matches the background more
closely, return to step 4 to reset the values on the printer control
panel to the number shown in that circle.
•
Verify that the circles in the neutral axis areas of the test page are
neutral gray (gray without a color tint), and then verify that one of
the circles in the ramp is a color very close to the background. If
the circles are not neutral gray, additional corrections to cyan,
magenta, or yellow might be necessary. If there is an overall tint of
color in the circles, make the adjustments suggested by the
following table. However, the most accurate correction is
determined by the circles in the individual black, cyan, magenta,
and yellow ramps.
