Using the Quick Color Adjustment Function

Use Quick Color Adjustment to adjust colors on a printer and evaluate the result.

    Important:
  • It is recommended to perform image density adjustment in advance.
  • Check the following before using this function:
    • On the printer whose color you want to adjust: The density of the printed image is normal and there are no errors. Check that the paper registered in Initial Settings is loaded.
    • The machine: The red indicator is not lit.
    • The computer connected to the machine: The RICOH Auto Color Adjuster menu is displayed.

      For details, see Displaying the RICOH Auto Color Adjuster Menu.

    • To use the Quick Color Adjustment function with a Fiery controller, set the Fiery Command WorkStation language to English or Japanese.
    Note:
  • When printing a color chart, use paper that matches the following settings, and specify the paper correctly in the print settings. For details about the settings, see RICOH Auto Color Adjuster: Installation Guide.
    • Paper of the size specified in Quick Color Adjustment in the Scan Settings section.
    • The same paper as specified in Paper Type in the Add/Edit Paper dialog of the Initial Settings page.
  • Use the paper that matches the size specified in Quick Color Adjustment in the Scan Settings section. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur. Change the setting when using paper of a different size.
  • If you select ISO12647-8 Coated V3 as the verification standard in the Color Verification field, it is recommended to print the color chart on UPM Digi Finesse gloss (250gsm) for color verification.
  • Print about 10 copies of the chart, and use the copy that is printed last.
