Registering User Colors

You can register up to 15 user colors made by adjusting the density of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. You can also name the colors you register, and print out a list of user colors.

You can create colors by:

  • Adjusting the density of primary colors based on a chosen basic color.

  • Directly specifying the density of primary colors using the number keys.

Note

  • When copying using user colors, the fine shades might vary depending on the condition of the machine.

  • In order to correctly reproduce originals, the values, which have been input, are corrected inside the machine, and copies are made using the best suitable values. This means that the Text setting and the Photo setting may produce slight differences in the color of the printouts.
