The laser power is increased
(to increase the contrast),
thereby enabling reproduction
of fine lines narrower than a
single particle of toner.)
The laser power/developing
bias is corrected to suit the F
value setting.
The laser power has
reached the upper limit,
requiring correction of
the developing bias to
increase the contrast.
