3.19.6 PRINTER GAMMA CORRECTION
ACC adjustment done at installation is usually sufficient to adjust the color balance
for optimum performance. Printer gamma correction is required for fine adjustment
to meet a customer requirement.
The printer gamma curve created during ACC can be modified with SP modes. The
gamma data for highlight, middle, shadow areas, and ID max can be adjusted. The
adjustable range is from 0 to 30 (31 steps).
Copy Mode
