For best printing results of mixed text, graphics, and images on a range of supported paper, set the
Color Correction feature to Xerox Automatic Color. For instructions on setting the Color Correction
feature, refer to Image Options. Follow these guidelines to control color corrections and color
adjustments:
• For best results on most paper, ensure that the color correction option in the print driver is set to
the recommended setting Xerox Automatic Color.
• To produce more vivid results, select a mode of color correction. For example, when printing
graphics in which the sky does not look blue enough, for a more vibrant blue sky, select Vivid
Color.
• To match the color output to another output device, select a custom Color Correction option.
• To apply different color corrections to text, graphics, and images, select Custom Automatic Color.
The Custom Automatic Color feature provides custom color corrections using color systems such
as RGB color, CMYK color, spot color, or CIE color.
• To adjust particular characteristics of the printed color, such as lightness, contrast, saturation, and
color casts, select Color Adjustments.
• To minimize color differences between side 1 and side 2 printed output, perform the Color
Matching procedure. For details, refer to Performing the Color-Matching Procedure.
