    Calibrate. There's only a fine line between blue and purple so if your blue is borderline and your printer is adding a bit of magenta or reducing a bit on the cyan it's bound to become purple. I've had this happen on my DC2060 and it was easily cured by calibrating it.

        i try to calibrate it but still coming out purple not sure if im doing it right... there is a claibration options: setup calibration, calibrate, and remove claibration... when i go to calibrate it says calibration set: normal, heavyweight & extra heavyweight...i select heavyweight because thats what we use to print on are paper then it ask to print measurement page... it prints out a autocal measurement page with colors... then it ask to measure page... i put the autocal measurement page on the copyer it scans then it prints comparison page....but when i print it still comes out purple...am i doing this right???
