MX-3640N ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS 5 – 50
1) Enter the SIM 46-16 mode.
2) Select the density level (point) to be adjusted with the scroll
key.
3) Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and press [OK] key.
When the a djustment value is incr eased, the density is
increased. When the adjustment value is decreased, the den-
sity is decreased.

The density at each density leve l (point) can be checked by
referring to this printed adjustment pattern. However, it is more
practical to make a copy and check it.

This adjustment pattern can be used to check the color bal-
ance and the density for each density level (point).
4) Make a copy and check the adjustment result.
Switch the adjustment simulation mode and the normal copy
mode alternately, and adjust and check the adjustment result.
Repeat switching the adjustment simulatio n mode and the normal
copy mode and changing the adjustment value and checking the
copy until a satisfactory result is obtained.
