Cautions after the completion of the adjustment
• The adjustment may possibly slow down the copying or printing speed and shorten the life of the consumables.
Therefore, carefully perform the adjustment, while checking the image.
• Switching image quality control mode will increase the interval of image quality control by approximately 25
seconds at maximum. It is performed before or after a copy or print job is performed. This may possibly cause
loss in the life of consumables. Pay special attention to these factors and perform the adjustment, while
checking the image quality.
