Explanation of Picture Quality 
Adjustment Parameters
Picture quality variations when the R, G, 
and B parameters are changed
CYN-RED adjustment (R parameter)
You can adjust the cyan and red color components. The 
default is 0.
Pressing B on the control button of the printer changes 
the value in the plus direction to 1, 2 … 7, making the 
red component value in the picture increase in the linear 
direction that the brightness increases as shown in figure 
1. This adds more red as if a red light has been cast. 
However, the maximum effective brightness value is 
255. When the value becomes larger than 255, saturation 
occurs. When this occurs, the saturated white area 
remains white even if the value is increased further in the 
plus direction.
Pressing b on the control button changes the value in the 
minus direction to –1, –2 … –7, making the red 
component value in the picture decrease in the linear 
direction that the brightness decreases as shown in the 
figure. Decreasing the brightness makes the red color 
darker and reduces the redness. The complementary 
color cyan (light blue) is added. In this case, the white 
area becomes bluish.
