Brightness
- Decreasing the brightness makes the printed image darker and increasing it makes the printed image fainter.
- Decrease the value to make the printed image darker and increase it to make the printed image fainter.
- If you increase the value too much, overexposure of bright areas may occur.
- If you decrease the value too much, underexposure of dark areas may occur
- Can be specified using the PCL/PS drivers.
Contrast
- Increasing the contrast makes bright areas brighter and dark areas darker.
- Decreasing the contrast makes bright areas darker and dark areas brighter.
- Increase the value to make the printed image clearer and decrease it to prevent overexposure of bright areas and underexposure of dark areas.
- If you increase the value too much, overexposure of bright areas and underexposure of dark areas may occur.
- If you decrease the value too much, the printed image may become unclear.
- Can be specified using the PCL/PS drivers.
Saturation
- Increasing the saturation makes the printed image more vivid.
- Decreasing the saturation makes the printed image closer to the neutral color (gray).
- If you increase the value too much, it may lower the gradation, resulting in a difficulty to distinguish colors.
- The printer’s color gamut is limited, so even if you increase the value, it may not make any difference.
- Can be specified using the PCL driver only.
RGB Adjustment (Adjust Each Color)
When using the PCL driver, adjust the tone (color gamut) by this method.
- Increasing "Red" makes "M" and "Y" more vivid and "C" less so.
- Decreasing "Red" makes "M" and "Y" less vivid and "C" more so.
- Increasing "Green" makes "C" and "Y" more vivid and "M" less so.
- Decreasing "Green" makes "C" and "Y" less vivid and "M" more so.
- Increasing "Blue" makes "C" and "M" more vivid and "Y" less so.
- Decreasing "Blue" makes "C" and "M" less vivid and "Y" more so.
CMYK Adjustment (Adjust Each Color)
When using the PS driver, adjust the tone (color gamut) by this method.
