Calibrating Colors

When colors look faded, adjust the toner color density to extend the life of the components.

Print and use the Color Reference Page

  1. In the printer's front panel press Help, scroll to Print Quality. Press Menu, scroll to Calibrate Colors, press Menu again and scroll to Adjust each Color. Press Menu again, the Reference Page front panel message appears, and press Print.
  2. Compare the Color Reference Page to the Color Density Samples in the user guide. Make a note of the value (-10 to +10) for each color that most closely matches the samples. Place the Color Reference Page on at least two sheets of clean white premium laser paper in a well-lighted area and align the Color Density Samples over the Color Reference Page.
  3. Decide which blocks on the Color Reference Page most closely matches the density of each color sample. Make a note of the value (-10 to +10) for each color; you will need this to adjust the colors in the next procedure.

Adjust the colors

  1. Use the Calibrate Colors menu in the printer's front panel to adjust the density according to the values you recorded in the previous procedure. Scroll to Adjust Each Color and press Menu.
    • The current setting for each color is indicated by an asterisk.
    • To change the setting, press <--- to decrease or ---> to increase the color adjustment. Refer to the table on the next page for information on these settings.
  2. After changing the density setting for any or all colors, reprint the Color Reference Page:
    • The dashed line reflects the new settings.
    • In this example, the density for each color is set to a different value.
