Color laser printers must be periodically calibrated to eliminate changes in printed colors caused by environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, and normal wear on printer consumables, such as toner cartridges and imaging units.

Calibrating a Printer
Color calibration is one of the most important things you can do if you want to obtain optimal
color output from your printer. Color laser printers must be periodically calibrated to eliminate
changes in printed colors caused by environmental conditions, such as temperature and
humidity, and normal wear on printer consumables, such as toner cartridges and imaging units.
Calibration may also be necessary if the printer has been used for long extended print runs or
after extended periods of inactivity.
Calibration can be done using one of the following two methods.
Method 1 is a spectrophotometer-based calibration done within PhaserMatch/PhaserCal
software.
This is the recommended method for calibration as it provides the most consistent
calibration method for your printer. If you do not have a spectrophotometer, it is suggested
that you consider purchasing one because a spectrophotometer can be a valuable color tool
for your business.
Method 2 is a visual calibration done using the control panel of the printer.
Calibration should be performed after the printer is warmed up.
