Calibration Menu
This printer features automatic, internal calibration to produce optimum color for most print jobs. The
Calibration Menu provides fine-tuning for critical color-matching requirements.
For information about using this menu to set toner densities, see page 250.
CAUTION Calibrating toner densities changes the color balance of your printer by altering halftones. It affects all
print jobs. Notify your network administrator before performing this procedure.
