The Printer Consistency test verifies whether the printed output produces the same color when the color bar in the test image is rotated. The test compares color measurements read from a page to color measurements read from another page with the same image rotated.

If the Printer Consistency test fails, it affects the accuracy of the CMYK and RGB tests. The Color Matching preferences cannot be tighter than the Printer Repeatability preference. You might try printing a number of copies to warm up the printer and then repeat the test.

You can also consider consulting a service technician to evaluate whether your Printer Repeatability preference is appropriate.
