Gradation Adjustment During Printing

To maintain the stability of gradation, density, and color, the machine performs the density adjustment internally during printing. The sensor detects the density of a patch, which is created on the Intermediate Transfer Belt every several sheets of paper is printed, to perform the density adjustment. You can increase the frequency of the density adjustment to maintain more stable image quality, if necessary.

This function is displayed only if the settings are made available by your local authorized Canon dealer.

If you increase the frequency of the adjustment, image quality becomes more stable but the adjustment time may increase and the print speed may be adversely affected.
