Issue
Perform calibration when the colors have changed and the data is not printed in the correct colors (specified colors) or a color deviation occurs. You can perform calibration manually or automatically at the designated time everyday. When data is not sent from the computer or when the printer status remains as it is longer than the fixed period, the printer can automatically perform calibration periodically.

Calibration takes approximately 180 seconds.
