ment.

When reinstalling the printer driver, you changed the region selec-
tion of the Media Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool de-
letes the region-specific paper information originally registered on
the printer before installation. Using paper with deleted information
when executing color calibration will prevent the resulting calibra-
tion adjustment value from being applied to all other types of the
paper.
Prepare paper compatible with calibration in the newly selected region
and perform calibration again.
