Method 2
Use SIM46-21 to print the color balance adjustment sheet, and
check each process (CMY) black patch color balance and the black
patch in order to confirm that the color balance adjustment is
proper.
If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY mixed
color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the adjustment is
proper. If the color balance of the adjustment pattern printed in this
mode is slightly shifted to Magenta, it is converted into the natural
gray color balance by the color table in an actual copy mode.
(When the color balance target is DEF 1.)
If color balance or density is not satisfied, adjust the copy and
printer color balance by SIM 46-74.
(3) Printer color balance/density check
Before checking the printer color balance and the density, be sure
to execute the following procedures in advance.
* Execute the high density image correction (Process correction)
forcibly. (SIM 44-6)
* The half-tone image correction is forcibly executed. (SIM 44-26)
Method 1
Execute SIM 64-5 to print the print test pattern.
Set each set value to the default and press [EXECUTE] key. The
print test pattern is printed.
The print density must be changed gradually from the lighter level
to the darker level. The density changing direction must not be
reversed. The density level of each color must be almost at the
same level.
Method 2
Use SIM 67-25 to print the color balance adjustment sheet and
compare each process (CMY) black patch color balance and the
black patch to check the color balance.
The print density must be changed gradually from the lighter level
to the darker level. The density changing direction must not be
reversed.
The density level of each color must be almost at the same level.
Patch B may not be copied.
Patch A must not be copied.
If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY mixed
color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the adjustment is
proper. In an actual print mode, it is converted into the natural gray
color balance by the color table. (When the color balance target is
DEF 1.)

10) When "COMPLETED THIS PROCEDURE" is displayed, the
adjustment operation is completed.
Cancel SIM46-74.
The adjustment result becomes valid only when the both
adjustments in the copy mode and in the printer mode are
completed.
For example, if the copy color balance adjustment (automatic
adjustment) is performed and the simulation is canceled, the
adjustment result is invalid.
11) Check the copy color balance and density.
(Refer to the item of the copy color balance and density
check.)
When satisfactory color balance and density are not obtained
from the automatic adjustment by selecting the factory target in
procedure 4), change the factory color balance target with SIM
63-11 and repeat the procedures from 1).
If a satisfactory result is not obtained with the above proce-
dure, perform the manual color balance adjustment (ADJ 10C
(2)).
Also when the service target is selected in procedure 4) to exe-
cute the automatic adjustment and a satisfactory result is not
obtained, perform the manual color balance adjustment (ADJ
10C (2)).
12) Check the printer color balance and density.
(Refer to the item of the printer color balance and density
check.)
When satisfactory color balance and density are not obtained
from the automatic adjustment by selecting the factory target in
procedure 7), change the factory color balance target with SIM
67-26 and repeat the procedures from 1).
If a satisfactory result on the color balance and the density is
not obtained with the automatic adjustment, execute the man-
ual adjustment (SIM 67-25) (ADJ 10E (2)).
Also when the service target is selected in procedure 7) to exe-
cute the automatic adjustment and a satisfactory result is not
obtained, perform the manual color balance adjustment (ADJ
10E (2)).
If the color balance or density is not in the satisfactory level even
after execution of the automatic and manual adjustments, there
may be another cause.
Troubleshoot the cause, repair or perform necessary works, and
repeat the adjustment from the beginning.
If color balance or density is not satisfied, adjust the copy and
printer color balance by SIM 46-74.
