DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS

Energy save

Two programs are provided for the purpose of saving energy: Auto power shut-off mode and preheat mode. These programs not only lower your electricity bill, but also help conserve natural resources and reduce pollution. Auto power shut-off mode enables more energy to be saved than preheat mode, but requires a longer recovery time. This program is also provided for reducing toner consumption.

Auto power shut-off timer

If the printer is not used for a programmed length of time after printing is finished, it will enter auto power shut-off mode to save energy. The length of time until auto power shut-off occurs can be set to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes or 240 minutes. For this setting to be effective, the "Auto power shut-off" program must be enabled. "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF TIMER" is displayed as indicated in the chart on page 26.
NOTE
Select a suitable time according to your pattern of use of the machine.

Auto power shut-off

Use this setting to enable or disable auto power shut-off. If disabled, the time set in the "Auto power shut-off timer" program will be disregarded. "AUTO POWER SHUT-OFF" is displayed as indicated in the chart on page 26.
NOTE
Rather than disabling the auto power shut-off feature, we suggest that you first try lengthening the time setting of the auto power shut-off timer. In most cases a suitable timer setting will allow work to proceed with minimal delay and still enable you to enjoy the benefits of power conservation.

Preheat mode

If the printer is not used for a programmed length of time after printing is finished, it will enter preheat mode. The time until the printer enters preheat mode can be set to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, or 240 minutes. "No" can be selected to disable preheat mode. Select the most suitable setting to match your pattern of use of the printer. "PREHEAT MODE" is displayed as indicated in the chart on page 26.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS
Manually adjusting the registration
The procedure for manually adjusting the registration is explained here. Display "MANUAL ADJUSTMENT" as indicated in the chart on page 28, and press the [OK] key. Press the [OK] key once again to print test pages for manual adjustment. Scales appear in the test pages that show the amount of deviation of each of the colours C (cyan), M (magenta), and Y (yellow). When there is a significant deviation, enter the value of the deviation to correct it.
Follow the steps below to manually adjust the registration.
Understanding the adjustment pattern
The amount of deviation is given within a range of -60 to 60, where 60 represents the maximum deviation and "0" represents no deviation. (See the enlarged view of scale B.) As shown below, the deviation of each colour is indicated by two scales. Scale A shows the "1's" component of the deviation and scale B shows the "10's" component.

DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS

Colour adjustment

As the printer is used, ambient conditions and the depletion of consumables (the toner cartridge and drum cartridge) can gradually cause changes to occur in the four colour components of colour images, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. This results in deviations in the colour balance. These deviations in the colour balance occur gradually over a long period of time. Ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) and the number of times the printer is used can have a large effect on colour deviation.
When should the colour balance be adjusted?
Colour adjustment can also be performed whenever a noticeable change occurs in the colour balance.
Colour adjustment should always be performed when one of the toner cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) is replaced.
It is recommended that colour adjustment be performed once every 500 prints.

Colour adjustment functions

The printer has the following two colour adjustment functions, as well as a test print for colour adjustment:
Easy calibration
This mode is used for fine adjustment of the grey balance at the mid density level of the colours cyan, magenta, and yellow. Use this mode to correct minor colour deviations. (see page 18)
Colour Balance
This function is used to adjust each of the density levels (low, mid, and high) of the four colour components, cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Use this mode when the colour deviation is significant. (see page 16)
Test print
This program is used to determine whether "Colour Balance" or "Easy Calibration" should be performed on the machine. (see page 14)
