<Adjust Image Quality>

This section describes how to adjust image quality for printing.

<Adjust Print Position>

<Set>

You can adjust the print position when printing is lopsided or protruding from the print range. Adjusting the Print Position

<Waterdrop Pattern Prevention Mode>

<Set>

You can set <Waterdrop Pattern Prevention Mode> for when a splattered image, white patches, streaks, etc. appear on the halftone images of twosided print jobs. Immediately after you turn ON the machine in a low temperature environment, if the halftone reproduction of the printout becomes significantly different from the original document, set this mode to <On>.


If you set <Waterdrop Pattern Prevention Mode>, the printing speed for the first sheet becomes slower.

<Fogging Prevention Mode>

<Set>

If you are using the machine in a low humidity environment, toner may be applied lightly to an area where supposed to be unprinted (white area). This problem may be solved if you set <Fogging Prevention Mode> to <On>.


If <Mode 1> is set, the correction effects becomes weaker, and it becomes stronger if <Mode 2> is set. However, the toner density on the output may become lighter when <Mode 2> is set.

<Adjust Fixing Level for Envelopes>

<Set>

When printing on envelopes, if their flaps are glued (which they should not be) or toner fixation is poor, you can adjust the fixing level.


If the envelope flap is glued, set the fixing level to <Low>. If toner is not fixed to envelopes well enough, set the fixing level to <High>. This setting is only valid when printing on envelopes.

<Corr. Fix. for Jobs w/ MP Tray (Heavy 4)>

<Set>

This mode improves the print result when the image is faint because insufficient toner is fixed to the paper.


This setting is only enabled when paper is loaded in the multi-purpose tray and <Paper Type> is set to <Heavy 4>. This setting limits the machine to one-sided printing even when using paper that allows two-sided printing. When set to <On>, the print speed will be slower.

<Adjust Standard Density>

<Set>

If the density of the printing is significantly different from the original document, this adjusts the overall density of the printed material to be closer to the original, including filled areas, text, lines, and intermediate densities.

<Adjust Density for Specific Paper>

<Set>

Printing may become faint on some paper the longer a toner cartridge is used. This setting may improve this problem.


This setting is only valid for the following paper types. Plain 3 Heavy 1 Heavy 2 Heavy 3 Heavy 4 Bond Postcard Envelope Pharmacy envelope Set a lower value to reduce the print density and a higher value to increase the print density. Changing this setting also changes the toner consumption.
