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
reflectivity
of the drum through the patches
• Cleans the transfer roll
• Calculates reflectivity ratios and operating points to attain the darkness target of each operating point
• Modifies the EP mechanism as necessary to adjust toner darkness
The cartridge smart chip controls how often this process executes.
Note: No messages are displayed on the control panel to give any indication that this test is running. The
device stores the results of its most recent process in the Auto dark adj
field
on the Menu settings page
report.
When deactivated, the printer disables and never executes this process.
