The third page printed at the start of a gray balance cali-
bration, is the Light Gray Calibration Page. This page uses
circles, or hexagons, of color to demonstrate the available
gray balance settings. The current gray balance setting is
the circle in the center, numbered zero. Each available set-
ting is printed against a background representing the de-
sired gray balance setting. To demonstrate the available
lightness/darkness calibration settings, the row at the bot-
tom of the page contains comb patterns. The comb pat-
tern labeled zero is the current setting. Together, the gray
balance circles and lightness/darkness combs allow for an
accurate gray balance setting.
