Adjusting Gradation

3S1Y-0A1

adation refers to the dark to light continuum of shades of a color. The more shades in the gradations of colors that

are printed, the more natural printouts seem. If color reproducibility becomes poor and the density and brightness of

printouts differs markedly from the originals, perform the appropriate adjustment (calibration). There are three types

of adjustments: "Full Adjust" for accurate adjustment, "Quick Adjust" for simple adjustment, and "Adjust Copy Image"

for gradation adjustment, especially for copying.

● Fr

equent calibration may affect the lifetime of toner cartridges.

● When the remaining amount of toner in cartridges is low, performing calibration may result in disruption of

color balance. If this phenomenon actually occurs after calibration, it is recommended that you replace any

toner cartridges of low remaining amount.

● The machine performs automatic adjustment (automatic calibr

ation) in accordance with changes in the

usage condition or environmental conditions.

Full Adjust

This adjustment optimizes r

eproducibility for color printing. When the machine performs full adjustment, it obtains

information to optimize color reproducibility. The machine maintains this information until the next time you perform

full adjustment. To make a full adjustment, repeat the operation, "print out the adjustment image and scan it,"

multiple times. Note that you cannot perform this adjustment while performing some functions, including, scanning,

and printing.
