Changing the Tail End White Patch Correction

When paper with curls or paper that tends to curl is used for 2-Sided copying/printing, toner may not be applied on the tail end of the paper and the area where toner is not applied may remain white or the colour may be faint. Also, when low density image is used, the colour may be faint or dense. In these cases, change the Tail End White Patch Correction of the custom paper type.

[Correction Amount]:	Depending on the paper type and paper curl, the size of the area on the tail end of the paper where white patches appear may differ. You can use this feature to adjust the starting position to correct the area.
