Manual Adjustment: Manually Performing Color Density Control

Manually perform the gamma correction using the density sensor of Relay Unit RU-509 (hereinafter, referred to as "manual adjustment"). Manual adjustment is performed when you want to update Color Density Control by optional readjustment.

In [Basic Setting], if you set [Use Color Density Control] to [ON] while [Periodical Adj. Execution] to [OFF], also perform manual adjustment as necessary before running a job. The [Switch Color(1st or 2nd)] setting in [Basic Setting] is also effective for manual adjustment. Select [Normal] to adjust primary colors only. Select [Precise] to adjust both primary colors and secondary colors.

When performing manual adjustment, select the sensor adjustment data that becomes the base of correction from the following two types.
- Sensor adjustment data that has been set as default with shipment (Default Sensor Adjustment Data)
- Sensor adjustment data that is adjusted to a particular paper type and screen (Color Sensor Adjustment Data for Each Paper Type (Registered Adj. Data))

The manual adjustment must be performed for each combination of paper type and screen type.

The screen type can be changed in UTILITY. For details, refer to Custom Screen: Selecting the Screen Type.
