Mode No.
(Class 1, 2, and 3)
Function / [ Setting ]
3 Auto TD Adj. *BCU Specifies when to perform the Auto Toner Density
Adjustment. When performing the Auto Toner
Density Adjustment, the machine supplies or
consumes toner so that the development gamma
is within ± 0.15 of the gamma target.
[ 0 to 3 / 0
/ 1/step ] Alphanumeric
0: Disable
1: Initial & Non-use self-check
2: Job end & Non-use self-check
3: Initial & Job end & Non-use self-check
Change if the customer complains of toner density
fluctuations. Before changing the setting away
from 0, check whether the forced TD adjustment
(3-126-2) is effective. If the problem is persistent,
then change to 1, 2, or 3. However, the machine
takes several minutes to do this adjustment.
4 ACC *BCU
CF
Enables or disables the process control self-check
before printing the ACC pattern.
[ 0 to 2 / 2
/ 1/step ]
0: Disable
1: Process Control Self-check
2: Auto TD Adjustment & Process Control Self-
check
NOTE:
If color balance changes during multi-copy runs
after ACC is performed, select 1 or 2. Setting 2
can precisely adjust the image density; however, it
takes about 6 minutes. Select 1 or 2 depending on
the customer’s requirement.
5 TD Adj. Cndtn *BCU Specifies whether temperature and humidity are
taken into account when deciding the timing of the
auto toner density adjustment (described in SP 3-
125-3).
Timing for the auto toner density adjustment is
determined by the setting of SP3-125-003. In
addition, if SP 3-125-5 is set to 1, the auto toner
density adjustment is done when the temperature
and humidity meet specified conditions (same
conditions as used for transfer current correction).
[ 0 to 1 / 1
/ 1/step]
0: No
1: Yes
Specify “1” when both temperature and humidity
are both high or low.
125
6 TD Adj. Times *BCU Limits the number of auto toner density
adjustments.
[ 1 to 3 / 3
/ 1/step]
The auto toner density adjustment consists of
three steps: detecting the development gamma,
supplying or consuming toner, and detecting the
development gamma again. When these three
steps are all complete, it means a single auto
toner density adjustment is complete.
