Correcting Color Mismatch

Color mismatch refers to a slight shift in the print positions of colors. When color mismatch occurs, printed images appear blurry. If this occurs, correct the color mismatch by performing calibration.
Color mismatch calibration is performed automatically according to usage of the machine and changes in the environment, but it can also be calibrated manually, as needed.
You cannot perform calibration when a toner cartridge has reached the end of its lifetime.
Use the operation panel to perform calibration. You cannot perform calibration using Remote UI from a computer.
The toner cartridges are used during calibration.
Performing frequent calibration affects the lifetime of the toner cartridges, regardless of whether it is automatic or manual calibration.
If the color balance of the printed document differs from the source data or original after calibration is performed, the remaining amount of toner in the toner cartridges may be low. It is recommended to check the remaining amount of toner in the toner cartridges, and replace any toner cartridges, as needed.
