[Transfer Error]
Overview
Configure settings to reduce an occurrence of transfer failure onto paper (white dot noise, low image density).
Set the appropriate value from the results of charts with different adjustment values (current values).
Tips
About Charts
- Charts are output with 5-level adjustment values (-40, -20, current value^0, +20, +40) (max. 5 sheets).
The adjustment range is -100 to +100. If the adjustment value is outside the range, the chart is not output.
Example: If the current value is +100, the adjustment values are set to +60, +80, +100, +120, and +140, so the charts for +140 and +120 are not output. - Each chart is printed with "Front" (front side) or "Back" (back side) in addition to the adjustment value.
Example: Front +100 - Charts can be output for the following paper sizes: A4, A3, SRA3, 8.5 e 11, 11 e 17, 12 e 18, or 13 e 19.
- Check the transfer condition of the blue (third row from the left) on the output chart as well as whether there are any small white spots in the black halftone (first row from the right). Set the adjustment value for the chart in the best condition.
Tips
- The higher the "-" value of the setting item, the stronger the current will flow. However, white dot noise may occur in the image.
- The higher the "+" value of the setting item, the weaker the current will flow. However, the image density may become lower.
- [Transfer Error] is synchronized with [2nd Transfer Output Adj.(Front)] and [2nd Transfer Output Adj.(Back)] of [Expert Adj.]. If you adjust using either one, the adjustment value will be the same.
