[Maximum Density Adjustment]
Overview
Configure the density setting for [Maximum Density Adjustment].
This function properly prints images with the intended density by outputting charts and adjusting the maximum toner density to suit variations in machine status or temperature and humidity at the time of printing.
When Intelligent Quality Care Unit IQ-501 and Relay Unit RU-518m are not mounted, measure the color of the chart with the optional colorimeter and measure the maximum density.
NOTICE
- If Intelligent Quality Care Unit IQ-501 or Relay Unit RU-518m is mounted, perform [Max. Density Auto Adj.]. For details, refer to [Max. Density Auto Adj.].
To use a colorimeter, you need to install an application that supports the colorimeter on your computer.

Setting Procedure
NOTICE
- Perform [Maximum Density Adjustment] using the paper used when registering the target density. If unregistered paper is used, adjustment cannot be performed correctly.
Adjusts the maximum density.
1
Press [Print Mode].
2
Set the following items as needed.
[Quality Adj.]: Setting values of [Quality Adj.] can be confirmed when outputting a chart. You can also set a screen used when outputting a chart.
[Output Setting]: Set the paper output destination when outputting a chart.
[Paper Setting]: Configure the paper setting for the output chart.
3
Select the paper tray used for adjustment.
4
Press Start on the Control panel.
A chart is output.
5
Change the adjustment value according to the measurement results.
When the measured density is lower than the target density (target value): Adjust to the + side (darker).
When the measured density is higher than the target density (target value): Adjust to the - side (lighter).
6
Repeat steps 1 to 5 until the desired result is obtained.
Tips
- If you return to the [MACHINE] screen after performing [Maximum Density Adjustment], [Gamma Automatic Adj.] is performed.
- Always perform [Color Density Manual Control] after changing the maximum density.
