(1) Test chart setting
1) Place a test chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ) on the original table as shown
below.
2) Place several sheets of A3 (11 x 17) white paper
(Sharp's specified paper) on the test chart at the rear reference.

(2) Density adjustment procedure
a. Collective adjustment of two or more copy quality modes
Normally this adjustment is performed with SIM 46-2. In this method, two
or more copy density adjustments in different modes can be adjusted
collectively.

1) Execute SIM 46-2.
(Binary value mode)
2) Press the COPY button to make a copy.
Check that the copy density is as shown in the table below.
If not, change the adjustment value.
•Adjustment spec
If the copy density is too light, increase the adjustment value.
If the copy density is too dark, decrease the adjustment value.
