6.5.11  LINE WIDTH CORRECTION 
This section describes how to select a setting for line width correction (LWC) for 
the Generation Copy mode. LWC (Line Width Correction) can make lines thicker or 
thinner in generation copies. 
 
SP4903 75 LWC: Generation Mode 
Setting Effect 
0 No correction 
1 Lighter lines 
2  Darker lines (Default) 
3 Thick lines 
 
SP4903 75 adjusts the thickness of  lines in faint 
generation copies. Specifically, this adjustment 
affects the lines targeted for adjustment by: 
•  SP4903 76 (LWC Threshold (Main Scan): 
Generation Mode). Targets main scan, lines 
parallel to the direction of feed [A]. 
•  SP4903 77 LWC Threshold (Sub Scan): 
Generation Mode). Targets sub scan, lines at 
right angles to the direction of feed [B]. 
 
For sharp thin lines, set SP4903 75 for a higher 
LWC setting, and for softer lines set a lower setting. 
For thick lines, select “3”. 
•  To thin (or thicken) lines in the main scan 
direction, select an SP4903 75 setting larger (or 
smaller) than the setting for SP4903 76 
•  To thin (or thicken) lines in the sub scan direction 
select an SP4903 75 setting larger (or smaller) 
than the setting for SP4903 77. 
However, remember that too large a setting can cause unexpected results in 
copied images.
