The output density for each colour may vary depending on the environment the machine is in, such as temperature and humidity. Calibration helps you to improve the colour density.

The instructions vary depending on the printer driver you are using:

• If you are using the standard printer driver, perform the calibration from the printer driver or using the status monitor.
• If you are using the BR-Script printer driver (PS driver), perform the calibration from the control panel of the machine.

1. Perform the calibration from the printer driver or using the status monitor
