Solution
When all the printout results appear reddish or bluish, or the color balance is not appropriate, you can correct the colors by adjusting each toner density of C (Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow), K (Black). The toner density can be specified in the range of 1 to 16 and is set to the standard density (8) before shipment. When adjusting the toner density using the control panel, use the following procedure.
