GENERAL PROGRAMS
■ Energy save
For saving energy, two programs are provided for
reducing the user's electricity bill, reducing waste
of natural resources and cutting down on
environmental pollution. In situations where it is
impractical to use the Auto power shut-off timer, a
program is provided to cancel that function.
A program is also provided for reducing toner
consumption.

Toner save in B/W printer mode
Printing in the toner save mode will reduce black
toner consumption. If toner save is set, black solid
areas will be printed as halftone. (This setting is
effective only for printing without use of the printer
driver. If the printer driver is used, the printer driver
setting will override the setting of this program.)

● Manually adjusting the registration
The procedure for manually adjusting the registration is explained here. This procedure is used when you select manual
adjustment in the [Registration adjustment] key operator program explained on page 10.
Touch the [MANUAL ADJUSTMENT] key and then the [EXECUTE] key to print the adjustment pattern for manual
registration adjustment. This pattern consists of scales that show how much each of the colours C (cyan), M (magenta),
and Y (yellow) are off. If a colour deviates greatly from the reference value, it can be corrected by entering the deviation
value from the touch panel. Follow the steps below to manually adjust the registration.

Touch the [MANUAL ADJUSTMENT] key and then the [EXECUTE] key to print the adjustment pattern for manual

and Y (yellow) are off. If a colour deviates greatly from the reference value, it can be corrected by entering the deviation
value from the touch panel. Follow the steps below to manually adjust the registration.
Understanding the adjustment pattern
The amount of deviation is given within a range of -60 to 60, where 60 represents the maximum value and "0" represents
minimal deviation. (See the enlarged view of scale B.)
As shown in the diagrams, the scales indicating the range of deviation appear in pairs for each colour, with one scale
showing the x1 component of the deviation, and the other scale showing the x10 component.
The amount of deviation is given within a range of -60 to 60, where 60 represents the maximum value and "0" represents
minimal deviation. (See the enlarged view of scale B.)
As shown in the diagrams, the scales indicating the range of deviation appear in pairs for each colour, with one scale
showing the x1 component of the deviation, and the other scale showing the x10 component.
Scale A consists of two scales for each colour (C1, M1, Y1 and C2, M2, Y2), and the peak value of the distribution range
of each colour on the scale is the x1 component of the deviation.
Adjustment is performed by entering the deviation, which is the total value of scale A and scale B. However, in most cases
adjustment is possible using just the deviation value from scale A. Follow these steps to perform adjustment.
