Adjusting Gradation

If gradation reproducibility has become so poor that the gradation in the printed or copied image differs markedly from the print data or original document, gradation adjustment may improve the problem.
You can use the following paper sizes/types.
Size: A4, LTR
Type: Plain, Heavy
Adjustments may not be performed effectively if there is not sufficient toner.
