[Misc] IR C2620 how to adjust color tone if you can

[Novasmic]

Hello,

I had an old Fuji Xerox DC1250 before this canon and it had a process of sticking a black and white color shade card on the scanner and went through a process to automatically adjust the color (i think it did anyway). My question is : does this Canon have the same type of process, if so how can i do it. I think i do have that shade card here somewhere still.

The card is called: Kodak Grayscale Strip
If your machine has a RIP - than you can calibrate it with the Strip.

If not - you can do the "Full Gradation" which is a built in process and does not require any strip.

Thanks for that, my DC1250 did have a rip but my new machine does not. Any idea how to find this Full Gradation or should i just google it.

So u run your Full Auto Gradation from the control panel.
Follow the menu prompts for the measurement print outs & position on glass.

On the imageRUNNER, there are two types of gradation adjustments available:


I.) Quick Adjustment: This is a quick and simple adjustment that is made to the gradation, density, and color settings of the machine. Recalibrations are made internally without outputting any test prints.

In order to perform the Quick Adjustment :

1. Press the Additional Functions button.
2.Select Adjustment/Cleaning.
3.Choose Auto Gradation Adjustment.
4.Select the paper type for the gradation adjustment.
5. Press Quick Adjust.
6.Hit Start.
7.Press Done.

Note: The machine automatically adjusts the amount of toner and the speed of printing depending on the paper type selected.

II.) Full Adjustment: This is a precise recalibration that is made to the gradation, density, and color settings of the machine. The procedure involves making test prints and placing them on the platen glass for scanning. Once this is complete, the machine automatically corrects the irregularities.

In order to perform the Full Adjustment:

1. Press the Additional Functions button.
2.Select Adjustment/Cleaning.
3.Choose Auto Gradation Adjustment.
4.Select the paper type for the gradation adjustment.
5. Hit Full Adjust.
6.Press Test Print 1 (the message 'Printing' appears and Test Print 1 is printed out).
7.Place the first test print on the platen glass. It should be placed face down on the platen glass, with the black bands along the top left edge of the platen glass by the arrow.
8.Press Start Scan (the message 'Scanning' appears).
9.Remove the first test print from the platen glass and press Test Print 2.
10.Place the second test print on the platen glass.
11.Press Start Scan.
12. Remove the second test print from the platen glass and press Test Print 3.
13.Place the third test print on the platen glass.
14. Press Start Scan. When scanning is complete, the gradation adjustment begins. The message 'Adjusting' appears.
* Note - When the machine is finished adjusting the gradation settings, the message 'Full Adjustment Complete' appears for two seconds.
15. Remove the third test print from the platen glass and press Done.
