Color Corrections and Color Adjustments
For best printing results of mixed text, graphics, and images on a range of supported paper, set the Color Correction
feature to XXeerrooxx AAuuttoommaattiicc CCoolloorr. 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 XXeerrooxx AAuuttoommaattiicc CCoolloorr.
• 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 VViivviidd CCoolloorr.
• 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 CCuussttoomm AAuuttoommaattiicc CCoolloorr. 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 CCoolloorr AAddjjuussttmmeennttss.
• To minimize color differences between side 1 and side 2 printed output, perform the Color Matching procedure.
