[Adjust Image Quality]

Perform image quality adjustments such as correcting the gradation or color mismatch in the printing results or scanned images.

* Values in red text indicate the default setting for each item.

Adjust the gradation if it is not reproduced correctly and the printing results differ significantly from the source data or original. Calibrating the Gradation

Adjust the density if the color density of the scanned data or printing results differs significantly from the source data or original. Correcting Density

Perform adjustment to make the density more even, if uneven shading occurs in the printing results. Correcting Uneven Density

Correct the color mismatch if colors run or appear blurry in the printing results. Correcting Color Mismatch

For each paper source, adjust the print position to correct shifted characters or images. Adjusting the Print Position for Each Paper Source

Select the vividness level when you want to make the colors of the printing results more vivid than those of the original. Making Colors More Vivid

If the size of the copied image differs slightly from that of the original, adjust the vertical and horizontal ratio in 0.1% increments to bring the size closer to that of the original. Adjusting the Print Size of the Copied Image

Select a dither pattern suitable for the image to be printed, to produce smoother gradations and contours in the printed image. Smoothing Curves and Gradations (Dither Pattern Settings)

Configure the setting to reduce the amount of toner used for color printing. This setting may be able to improve problems such as streaks (lines) and uneven printing. Reducing Toner Used When Color Printing (C3100 Series Only)

Adjust the levels of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black for color printing. You can make fine adjustments to the density areas of each color, which are divided into three levels of "dark," "medium," and "light." Adjusting the Color Balance (For C7100 Series and C5100 Series)

When uneven gloss occurs on printed images, perform correction to reduce uneven gloss.

* Select [Off] if you do not want to perform correction. Depending on the paper, the productivity of the machine may be reduced if this mode is set to [On].

Set whether to correct color mismatch in the direction parallel to the feed direction, and whether to smoothly print text, diagrams, and images.

* Select [Off] if you do not want to perform correction. Depending on the original, new color mismatch or roughness may occur.

By registering a color profile to the machine, you can accurately reproduce specific colors and the color tones of other machines (Canon machines). Reproducing Specific Colors or the Color Tones of Other Machines (Register Color Profile) (Windows)
