PCL5c PS3 Mac
<Hint> Refer to the information below to select "Item," in order to perform the adjustment on a PS3
printer driver:
• PDF data: CIE-Based RGB/CMYK data and Device
RGB/CMYK data
• Data on Windows and Microsoft Office: Device RGB data in most cases
• Data on Mac OS X: CIE-Based RGB/CMYK data in many cases
<Note> If the graphic and image options are changed, the adjustment may possibly cause the unnatural hue
of gradational and photo images, and the inadequate reproducibility of gradations. Therefore,
carefully perform the adjustment, while checking the printouts.
* This adjustment will have an effect only on Black and white mode printing.
(5) Enter adjustment mode [05]. Change the values for codes [8050 to 8065] to adjust the color density (Color balance).
• Adjust the value for [05] code corresponding to the print option to be applied (PDL and Halftone).
Ex.: • When printing on Windows is performed with the following options selected: PCL6, Image Quality
Type = General, Halftone = Auto
> Text area
Change the values for Y: 05-8062, M: 05-8063, C: 05-0864 and K: 05-8065.
> Graphic and image area
Change the values for Y: 05-8058, M: 05-8059, C: 05-8060 and K: 05-8061.
• When printing on Macintosh is performed with the following option selected: Image Type =
Photograph, Halftone = Smooth
> Change the values for Y: 05-8050, M: 05-8051, C: 05-8052 and K: 05-8053.
* Printing on Macintosh is performed in PostScript. (See the "PS3" row in the table below.)
* The hue of the black text printed using all color toners (C, M, Y and K) will look much clearer, if the amount
of the C (cyan) toner used is larger than the M (magenta) or Y (yellow) toner. Remember that adjusting the
density of K (black) does not affect the hue of the black text, if all color toners are used to print the text.

* Set the value in increments of approximately 20, while checking the printouts until the optimum value is
obtained.
