Print Contrast

The print contrast can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium.

Charge Roll

The charge roll can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium.

Gap Adjust

Adjusts the minimum gap between sheets during printing. This setting reduces speed (pages per minute), but can be used to reduce curl of printed media and improve stacking in the output bin.

The range is 0 (default) to 255. Adjusting by one results in 9 mm of increased gap.

Automatic Darkness Adjustment (Auto Dark Adj)

This setting attempts to optimize the amount of toner used when printing with a specific operating point. Each time this setting executes, the printer performs the following:

Calibrates its toner density sensor

Measures the reflectivity of its bare drum

Prints patches on the drum and measures the drum’s reflectivity through the patches

Cleans the transfer roll

Calculates reflectivity ratios and operating points in order to attain each operating point’s darkness target

Modifies the EP mechanism as necessary to adjust toner darkness.

No messages are displayed on the operator panel to give any indication that this test is running. When deactivated, the printer disables.

Event log

Display Log

Selecting EVENT LOG provides a history of printer errors. The most recent error displays in position 1, and the oldest error displays in position 10 (if 10 errors have occurred). If an error occurs after the log is full, then the oldest error is discarded. Identical errors in consecutive positions in the log are entered.
