Executing Color Calibration

The procedure for executing color calibration is as follows.

Getting the Printer Ready

1. You can confirm whether the paper to be loaded can be used in color calibration.

2. Load the paper.

Note
If Adj. Quality has not been executed even once on the paper you are using when you execute Auto Adjust (High Precision), execute Adj. Quality in the control panel menu.

3. If a spectrophotometer unit is mounted, select the White/Black Backing Plate color. We recommend white.

Note
For the color of the White/Black Backing Plate, continue using the selected color without changing each time you execute color calibration.
