Copy density adjustment
(300dpi)
(300dpi)
[Function]
Copy density is set for each mode.
When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed in 2 digits (Default: 50).
Change the set value and press [START] key to make a copy under the set value.
When the set value is increased, the copy becomes darker. When the set value is decreased,
the copy becomes lighter.
In this case, only Exp.3 copy is made. When, however, the setting is made to make darker copy,
Exp.1 and Exp.5 copies also become darker. When made to lighter copy, Exp1. and Exp.5 cop-
ies become lighter, too.
Press [Exposure mode selector] key to switch the mode. The set value of the selected mode is
displayed on the LCD/display. (Adjustment value: 1 – 99)
The setting procedure of the magnification ratio is the same as that to copy operation.
