Copy/Scan low density image density 
adjustment (for each mode) 
(No need to adjust normally)
This adjustment is used to adjust the image density in the low den-
sity area in the copy/scanner mode.
This adjustment is required in the following cases.
* When there is a desire not to reproduce the background of the
document. When there is a desire to reproduce the low density
image of the document.
* When there is request from the user.
1) Enter the SIM 46-63 mode.
2) Select the copy mode to be adjusted with the scroll key. 3) Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and press [OK] key.
When the adjustment value is increased, reproducibility of the
background and the low density image is increased. When the
adjustment value is decreased,  reproducibility of the back-
ground and the low density image is decreased.

Dropout color adjustment 
(Normally not required.)
(26cpm/36cpm/31cpm(A) machine)
General (Purpose):
This adjustment is used to adjust the range of reproduction of color
document images as monochrom e images in the image send mode
(monochrome manual text mode).
In other words, it is used to adjust the level of chroma of color
images which are reproduced as monochrome images.
This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:
* When there is request from the user.
1) Enter the SIM 46-55 mode.
2) Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and press [OK] key.
When the adjustment value is  increased, colors dropout
becomes easy to narrow the reproduction range. When the
adjustment value is decreased,  color dropout becomes difficult
to widen the reproduction range.
3) Scan the document in the image send mode (monochrome manual text mode) and check the adjustment result.
Effect and adverse effect when decreasing the value
[Effect]
When black characters are fainted by color shift, etc, the black area
is outputted clearly.
[Adverse effect]
Dropout of color sections becomes difficult. Effect and adverse effect when increasing the value
[Effect]
Colors (of low chroma) which are difficult to be dropped out can be
dropped out.
[Adverse effect]
Black characters are fainted or cracked.
