Common Functions

Auto Color Calibration (for Copy)/Auto Color Calibration (for Print)/Copy Calibration by Screen/Printer Calibration by Screen

Performs automatic color correction when the color is off.
For copying, adjust with [Auto Color Calibration (for Copy)]. For printing, adjust with [Auto Color Calibration (for Print)]. You can use [Copy Calibration by Screen] and [Printer Calibration by Screen] to perform even higher precision adjustment of each mode.
The machine prints a test patch, the test patch is scanned, and the color is automatically corrected.
After the [Execute] key is tapped and a test patch is printed, a message appears prompting you to begin automatic calibration.
Follow the instructions in the message to perform color adjustment.

  • If the color is still off after performing Auto Color Calibration, repeating Auto Color Calibration once again may improve the color.
  • Before executing Auto Color Calibration, check to see if the registration adjustment is correct. If the registration adjustment is not correct, perform "Registration Adjustment."

Density Smoothing Adjustment

If uneven density occurs in a copy and others, use this function to smooth the density.
The uneven density is automatically corrected by scanning a test patch that you print.
After the [Execute] key is tapped and a test patch is printed, a message appears prompting you to begin automatic calibration. Follow the instructions in the message to perform density smoothing.
If there are no problems after adjustment, perform "Auto Color Calibration (for Copy)" and "Auto Color Calibration (for Print)".
To return the adjusted values to their factory default state, tap [Return Density Smoothing Adjustment Value to Defaults]. If you tapped [Return to the Defaults], perform adjustment of the density that you want to readjust (medium density in the default mode).

Factory default settings:
Middle
If the intensity deviation correction does not resolve the intensity deviations, repeat the correction. This may suppress the deviations. To repeat the correction, start over the procedure from the first step, or tap the [Back] key after going through the correction procedure.

Removing a toner cartridge

Normally toner cartridges cannot be removed. However, when a cartridge runs out of toner, the cartridge is automatically ejected to allow removal. If you need to remove a cartridge that still has toner, you can manually eject and remove the cartridge. Select the toner cartridge to be ejected and tap the [Execute] key. The selected cartridge is ejected to allow removal.

To remove the toner cartridge, use the operation panel on the machine. You cannot perform the cartridge removal operation on the web screen.
