MX-3114N  MX-2314N/2614N/3114N (MAIN UNIT)  2 – 12

Method 2

Use  SIM46-21  to  print  the  color  balance  adjustment  sheet,  and
check each process (CMY) black patch color balance and the black
patch  in  order  to  confirm  that  the  color  balance  adjustment  is
proper.

If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY mixed
color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the adjustment is
proper. If the color balance of the adjustment pattern printed in this
mode is slightly shifted to Magenta, it is converted into the natural
gray  color  balance  by  the  color  table  in  an  actual  copy  mode.
(When the color balance target is DEF 1.)

If  color  balance  or  density  is  not  satisfied,  adjust  the  copy  and
printer color balance by SIM 46-74.

(3)

Printer color balance/density check

Before checking the printer color balance and the density, be sure
to execute the following procedures in advance.

* Execute  the  high  density  image  correction  (Process  correction)

forcibly. (SIM 44-6)

* The half-tone image correction is forcibly executed. (SIM 44-26)

Method 1

Execute SIM 64-5 to print the print test pattern.

Set  each set  value  to  the  default  and  press  [EXECUTE]  key. The
print test pattern is printed.

The print density must be changed gradually from the lighter level
to  the  darker  level.  The  density  changing  direction  must  not  be
reversed.  The  density  level  of  each  color  must  be  almost  at  the
same level.

Method 2

Use  SIM  67-25  to  print  the  color  balance  adjustment  sheet  and
compare  each  process  (CMY)  black  patch  color  balance  and  the
black patch to check the color balance.

The print density must be changed gradually from the lighter level
to  the  darker  level.  The  density  changing  direction  must  not  be
reversed.

The density level of each color must be almost at the same level.

Patch B may not be copied.

Patch A must not be copied.

If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY mixed
color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the adjustment is
proper. In an actual print mode, it is converted into the natural gray
color balance by the color table. (When the color balance target is
DEF 1.)
