# COLOUR ADJUSTMENTS

The following settings are related to copying.
Default settings selected with these settings apply to all functions of the machine (not just the copy function).
The following settings are related to the colour.
Initial Colour Balance Setting
Colour balance values obtained using "Colour Balance" in another mode can be stored in a program (1 to 48), and those values can be retrieved and stored as the initial colour balance setting*. Use this feature when you wish to repeatedly use a colour balance setting for a favourite colour or for correction when a change occurs in the colour balance.

*
  Preset values displayed when you select "Colour Balance" in another mode.

Return to the Factory Default Setting
This returns the stored colour balance values to the factory default values (all colour balance values are "0" for the 8 levels of each colour).
AUTO COLOUR CALIBRATION
Performs automatic colour correction when the colour in colour copies is off. The machine prints a test patch, the test patch is scanned, and the colour is automatically corrected.
After the [Execute] key is tapped and a test patch is printed, a message appears prompting you to begin automatic calibration. Place the test patch on the document glass as shown below (so that the thin line at the edge of the page is to the left).
Lay copy paper (about five sheets) that is the same size as the test patch on top of the placed test patch, gently close the automatic document feeder, and tap the [Execute] key.

- Before executing Auto Colour Calibration, check to see if the registration adjustment is correct. If the registration adjustment is not correct, perform "Registration Adjustment."
- If the colour is still off after performing Auto Colour Calibration, repeating Auto Colour Calibration once again may improve the colour.
