2. Copier-specific Adjustments
(3) Enter adjustment mode [05]. Change the values for codes [604 to 606], [1737 to 1741] and [1757] to adjust the sharpness intensity.
*Decreasing the sharpness intensity will minimize the edges of the image.

*Setting "1" provides the softest image, while setting "31" provides the sharpest image. The default value ("0") provides an image as sharp as the one provided by setting "16."
Changing the values for these codes will change the sharpness intensity, when the "Sharpness" indicator in the "IMAGE" menu is set to the center. Remember that 1 step of the indicator will increase or decrease the sharpness intensity by 3. If the sharpness intensity of the center value is changed, each step of the indicator will be changed accordingly. (For instance, if the center value is increased by 5 (sharper), the value of each step of the indicator will also be increased by 5 (sharper).)
<Note> "Minimizing the edges of the copy image" and "Sharpening the copy image" are mutually contradictory. When the adjustment is performed to minimize the edges, the resolution of the copy image may decrease.
After decreasing the sharpness intensity, copy and check the copy image quality.
If further image quality adjustments are still necessary, use the next procedure.
(4) Enter adjustment mode [05]. Change the values for codes [1630 to 1633] to adjust the maximum color density of text.

*Set the value in increment of 1, while checking the copy image until the optimum value is obtained.
After adjusting the maximum color density of text, copy and check the copy image quality.
If further image quality adjustments are still necessary, use the next procedure.
