Max. Density Auto Adj. (RU): Automatically Adjusting the Maximum Density for Y, M, C, and K

Automatically adjust the maximum density for each of Y, M, C, and K by scanning printed charts with the color density sensor mounted on Relay Unit RU-511.

  • To activate this function, you need to ask a service engineer in advance to set up the desired maximum density value (target density). For details, contact your service representative.

  • Be sure to use the paper that has been used to register the target density to perform Max. Density Auto Adj. (RU). With unregistered paper, the adjustment cannot be performed correctly.

  • If you want to perform automatic adjustment using paper other than the registered paper, you need to register the target density again. For details, contact your service representative.

  • The machine will carry out the image stabilization adjustment after you change the maximum density. When the image stabilization adjustment is completed, proceed to the calibration with the image controller.

  • Be sure to perform Color Density Manual Control after changing the maximum density.

  • After Max. Density Auto Adj. (RU), the paper profile used for automatic adjustment changes to the one used for registering the target density; the profile does not return to the one before adjustment. You can ask a service engineer to specify the setting so that after this adjustment the paper profile automatically returns to the one before adjustment. For details, contact your service representative.

  1. Follow the procedure on Administrator Setting to display the [Administrator Setting Menu] screen.

  2. Press [System Setting] on the [Administrator Setting Menu] screen, and then press [Expert Adjustment], [Process Adjustment], and [Max. Density Auto Adj. (RU)] in sequence.

  3. Press [Print Mode].

  4. Load paper used to register the target density in a tray.

    The paper profile for the tray automatically changes to the one used for registering the target density.

  5. Select the tray in which you loaded paper, and then press [OK].

  6. Press Start on the control panel.

    The charts are measured using the density sensor of Relay Unit RU-511 and delivered into the output tray.

    • You cannot stop the adjustment until all charts are completely printed.

  7. After the adjustment is completed, the screen returns to the [Maximum Density Auto Adjustment (RU)] screen.

    The measurement result will be displayed on [After Adjustment].

    The result of automatic adjustment is displayed under [Current Data]. These values are reflected on Maximum Density Adjustment: Adjusting the Maximum Density for Y, M, C, and K.

    • Press [Measurement History] to view the measurement history (up to 30 results).

    • Press [Switch Display] on the [Maximum Density Measurement History] screen to change the items in the history list (Display 1: Measurement Date and Measured Value for each color, Display 2: Paper Type and Set Value for each color).

  8. Press [Return] to return to the [Process Adjustment Menu] screen.

    Note that the paper profile for the tray remains in the one used for registering the target density.
