How do I perform color calibration?
Color calibration improves color consistency between prints, and from one printer to
another.
It is normally performed whenever a printhead is replaced, and whenever a new paper
type is introduced that has not been calibrated yet with the new printhead(s).
However, this automatic behavior can be turned off, and a default color correction
used for each of the known paper types.
1.
From the front panel, select the icon, then Configuration menu > Color
calibration.
2. The available options for color calibration are:
–
On: the printer performs color calibration whenever you introduce a new
paper type that has not yet been calibrated with the current set of printheads.
