Descriptions
A Factory color
balance (gamma)
target
There are three kinds of the color balance targets, and each of them is specified according to the machine design. Use SIM 67-26 to
select one of them as the factory target. The default setting (factory setting) is the color balance (DEF1) which emphasizes color
reproduction.
B Service color
balance (gamma)
target
This target is used when the user requests to customize the color balance to user's desired level. In advance, the user's unique color
balance must be registered as the service color balance target. The above registration (setting) is made by the serviceman with SIM
67-25 to adjust the color balance and with SIM 67-27 to register it.
This color balance target is used when the user executes the color balance adjustment. When, therefore, the service color balance
target is changed, the color balance target of the user's color balance adjustment is also changed. When, however, SIM 67-28 is
executed, the color balance is set to the factory color balance target set with SIM 67-26. The default setting (factory setting) of the color
balance is same as the factory color balance target. (Emphasized on color reproduction (DEF1))
If the user does not request for customizing the color balance, be sure to use SIM 67-28 to set the color balance to the factory color
balance target.
C User color balance
