Maximum Density Adjustment: Adjusting the Maximum Density for Y, M, C, and K

Adjust the maximum density for each of Y, M, C, and K.

Adjustment Range: -10 (Light) to +10 (Dark) for each of <Yellow>, <Magenta>, <Cyan>, and <Black>

  • The machine will carry out the Gamma Automatic Adjustment after you change the maximum density. When the Gamma Automatic Adjustment is completed, proceed to the calibration with the Image controller.

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

  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 [Maximum Density Adjustment] in sequence.
