Correcting the Gradation
Gradation 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 auto adjustment. Before adjusting the gradation, check the remaining toner level. Gradation
adjustments require significant toner (
Checking Toner Level). There are three types of adjustments: Full Adjust, Quick Adjust,
and
Adjust Copy Image.
Fewer shades in the gradations
More shades in the gradations
NOTE
Adjustments may not be performed effectively if there is not sufficient toner.
This adjustment optimizes reproducibility 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. For making full
adjustment, an adjustment image will be printed twice and scanned twice. Note that you cannot perform this adjustment while
performing some functions, including, scanning, and printing.
NOTE
This adjustment is not available when <Only Continue Black & White Printing> is selected on the screen displaying the message
<End of Toner Cart. Lifetime>.
Press .
Use / to select <Adjustment/Maintenance>, and press .
Select <Auto Adjust Gradation> <Full Adjust>.
Check that the size and type of paper displayed on the screen is loaded in the machine, and press .
Confirm the procedure, and press .
Adjustment starts. In approximately 1 to 2 minutes, an adjustment image is printed.
Open the feeder after the screen displayed during printing disappears.
