Menu functions> 73
COLOUR MENU
The printer automatically adjusts colour balance and density at 
appropriate intervals, optimising the printed output for bright 
white paper viewed in natural daylight conditions. The items on 
this menu provide a means of changing the default settings for 
special or particularly difficult print jobs. Settings revert to their 
default values when the next print job is complete.
ITEMSETTINGSEXPLANATION
ADJUST DENSITY EXECUTE Image density will be automatically 
adjusted at power on, when a new image 
drum or toner cartridge is installed, and at 
intervals of 100, 300 and 500 drum 
counts. If a 500 drum count interval 
occurs during a print job it will occur at 
the end of that job, and will take up to 55 
seconds.
DENSITY 
CONTROLAUTO
MANUALSelecting this will permit automatic 
adjustment of the colour density.
AUTO COLOR 
REGISTRATION EXECUTE Performs automatic colour registration 
adjustment. Normally this is done on 
power on and when the top cover is 
opened and then closed. This process 
accurately aligns the cyan, magenta and 
yellow images to the black image.
