2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Outline of density correction
Density is corrected by reading correction patterns, which are printed on the belt, by use of
the density sensor located inside the sensor shutter under the belt unit.
Automatic start timing of density correction:

A correction error may be issued due to an inadequate toner amount of a pattern generated,
a sensor stained with toner, deficient opening/closing of the shutter, or for other reasons.
However, even if such a density correction error is issued, it is not indicated on the operator
panel. Therefore, it is necessary to perform forcible color registration correction in the self-
diagnostic mode (Section 5.3.2.7) to check the error indication.
