Use the following hints and tips to find information on getting the correct colors on your prints.

• Select another Color Correction option in a supported driver and print your image again.

• If you are not using a supported driver and are sharing the printer with other users on a network, another user may have changed the printer's color adjustment setting.

• If you use the driver's Use Printer Setting option and printed colors are not what you expected, check the following:

  A selection may have been made in the TekColor Correction menu on the printer's front panel. These settings change the printer's color correction setting.

  A color correction utility file may have been downloaded to the printer. These files change the printer's color correction setting.

• If the toner colors are printing too light or too dark, you can adjust the density or amount of each toner color applied to the paper. Refer to the Phaser 550 Color Printer User Manual for instructions on using the printer's front panel to adjust toner density.
