Using the RICOH Auto Color Adjuster Application

To operate the machine, use the RICOH Auto Color Adjuster that is installed on the computer. This section describes the functions and settings of the RICOH Auto Color Adjuster, and the procedure for starting each function and accessing the settings menus.
How to Access Functions and Settings Function/Settings Overview
Select the function or the settings button in the menu screen of the RICOH Auto Color Adjuster Quick Color Adjustment Scans a color chart and generates a profile automatically. Register the created profile as the output (printer) profile on the DFE, and use the profile when printing a document. Use this function at a regular interval to avoid the changes in the machine condition or printing environment to affect the colors on the output sheets.
Color Sample Matching Generates a profile based on the printed color sample that you scanned using the Color Sample Matching function. Register the created profile as the CMYK input (source) profile on the DFE, and use the profile when printing a document. You can use the generated profile to reproduce the colors of the color sample on the printed page as closely as possible.
