Gamma Correction (PCL Only)

Return to Overview


Text: 1.0, 1.4*, 1.8, 2.2
Graphics: 1.0, 1.4*, 1.8, 2.2
Image: 1.0, 1.4*, 1.8, 2.2


An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting in this section.

The brightness of printing can be adjusted to not lose the brightest and darkest portions of the original data. For example, this setting is made when the printout is brighter than the original image (original photograph before being scanned, graphics created on a monitor, etc.) or when wanting to change the brightness before printing.

Four gamma correction values are available. The larger numbers result in darker printed documents. <1.4> is the value for an uncorrected (default) state.

Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.


Remark
  • If your machine is the imageRUNNER C1028, the optional PCL Printer Kit is required.
  • This setting is only applied if the <CMS(Matching)/Gamma> option is set to <Gamma>.
  • The setting made from the printer driver will override this setting made in the <Printer Settings> menu. If the selected printing options are not reflected correctly, check the printer driver settings.
