printer’s color production. The Bias Adjustment screens, accessible via the
front panel, allow you to override the printer’s current toner density and
brightness settings.
Using the Bias Adjustment and calibration offset controls, you can increase
or decrease the density of cyan, magenta, yellow or black, and increase or
decrease the overall brightness of all toner colors.

card. (See page 131.)
