Automatic Color Copy and Printer calibration (Combined) Simulation 46-74
In most cases, you should be able to run Simulation 46-74 and perform Copy and Printer calibration at
the same time. In some cases, you may wish to perform these adjustments separately, using
Simulations 46-24 for Copy mode, and 67-24 for print mode.
1. Select a Factory Color Balance Target (If desired) before performing automatic calibration, you can
select a new Factory Definition. Normally, DEF 1 should be selected.
Use Simulation 63-11 to select a new definition for Copy mode (Default is DEF 1)
Use Simulation 67-26 to select a new definition for Printer mode (Default is DEF 1)
2. Unless a Manual calibration has been performed previously, it is highly recommended to match the
Service Target to the Factory Target.
Use Simulation 63-08 to match the Service Color Balance Target to the currently selected
Factory Color Balance Target for Copy mode
Use Simulation 67-28 to match the Service Color Balance Target to the currently selected
Factory Color Balance Target for Printer mode.
3. Perform Copy/Printer Color Balance and Density Adjustment using Simulation 46-74 (ADJ 21-F).
a) Make sure that 11 x 17” Hammermill Color Copier paper is loaded in one of the paper trays. (If other
type 11 x 17” paper is loaded in other trays, either remove the paper or open the trays so the
correct paper is used during calibration)
b) Enter Simulation 46-74 and press EXECUTE. A test page is generated. Place the test page on the
exposure glass face down with the thin line to the left. Place 5 blank pages of 11 x 17” paper on top
of the test page and lower the RSPF/DSPF.
c) Select FACTORY and press EXECUTE on the Display. The test page is scanned, and a reference page
is printed (this page is for visual inspection only and is not intended to be placed on the glass). If no
error messages occur, Copy calibration is complete.
d) Press EXECUTE to begin printer calibration. A test page is generated. Place the test page on the
exposure glass face down with the thin line to the left. Place 5 blank pages of 11 x 17” paper on top
of the test page and lower the RSPF/DSPF.
e) Select FACTORY and press EXECUTE. The test page is scanned, and a reference page is printed (this
page is for visual inspection only and is not intended to be placed on the glass). If no error
messages occur, Printer calibration is complete. Press OK on the display. Copy and Printer
calibration values are entered into memory.
f) The display will read “Please Quit this Mode” press the CA key to exit Simulation 46-74.
4. Confirm Copy Color Balance by making a copy of the Color Test Chart (UKOG-0326FC11).
5. Confirm Printer Color Balance by printing a PCL test print using Simulation 64-5.
This concludes Combined Copy and Printer Calibration using Simulation 46-74.
