Normally, [Mode 1] is selected for automatic adjustment, but you can change the setting to suit your environment. The improving effect is greater with [Mode 3] than with [Mode 2].

If printed barcodes cannot be scanned, changing the setting for this option may improve the problem.

If vertical streaks appear on the printout, changing the setting for this option may improve the problem. The improving effect is least with [Mode 1] and greatest with [Mode 4]. Try the adjustment starting with [Mode 1].

If materials inside the toner cartridge have deteriorated, the printout may be faded as a whole.

In this case, selecting the check box for this option may improve the problem.

If the printer does not receive data for a certain length of time, its internal temperature drops and therefore it may take some time for the printer to start printing after receiving the next print command.

If the check box for this option is selected, the printer's internal temperature is maintained even during standby state, ensuring no delay in the start of printing.

If the printed paper curls, selecting the check box for the paper source from which the paper was fed may improve the problem.
