Auto Gradation Adjustment
Auto Gradation Adjustment is a color calibration for the copier and printer. An Auto Gradation Adjustment compensates for differences between the actual and the expected toner densities for each color. An Auto Gradation Adjustment should be performed whenever there is a noticeable change in the appearance (quality) of the output, particularly changes in color tones or densities. Performing an Auto Gradation Adjustment on a regular basis will help to maintain consistent color quality over time.
NOTE: Since an Auto Gradation Adjustment can affect all jobs for all users, it is recommended that this procedure be performed only by the Machine Administrator.
Copy Job - Text Compensates tones when a text original is copied. Copy Job - Photo Compensates tones when a photo original is copied. Print Job - Text Compensates tones when printing text documents. Print Job - Photo Compensates tones when printing photo documents.
