There may be a slight difference in how colors are printed after
Printhead replacement because of individual variation among
printheads.
Execute color calibration.
Printhead characteristics gradually change through repeated use,
and colors may change.
Execute color calibration.
Color may change slightly even on the same model of printer if
you use a different version of the firmware or printer driver, or
when you print under different settings or in a different printing
environment.
Follow these steps to prepare the printing envi-
ronment.
1.
Use the same version of firmware or printer
driver.
2.
Specify the same value for all settings items.
3.
Execute color calibration.
When reinstalling the printer driver, you changed the region selec-
tion of the Media Configuration Tool.
Changing the region selection of the Media Configuration Tool
deletes the region-specific paper information originally registered
on the printer before installation. Using paper with deleted infor-
mation when executing color calibration will prevent the resulting
calibration adjustment value from being applied to all other types
of the paper.
Prepare paper compatible with calibration in the
newly selected region and perform calibration
again.
Banding in different colors occurs
Cause
Corrective Action
The paper feed amount is out of ad-
justment.
Adjust the feed amount.
(See "
Adjusting the Feed Amount
.")
→P.833
If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors by the trailing edge
(about 20–30 mm (0.8–1.2 in) from the edge), try adjusting the feed amount of
the trailing edge of sheets.
(See "
Adjusting Color on the Trailing Edge of Sheets
.")
