MX-M1205  ADJUSTMENTS  5 – 61

Operation in monochrome auto copy mode: 
When the density of the document of the read area is light, output
image density is increased by control. When the density of the doc-
ument of the read area is dark, output image density is decreased
by control.

 

Use for the reproducibility adjustment of document background
density in monochrome auto copy mode.

This adjustment is required in the following cases.

* When there is a desire not to reproduce the background of the

document. When there is a desire to reproduce the low density
image of the document.

* When there is request from the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-32 mode.

2)

Select the adjustment mode with the scroll key.

3)

Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and press [OK] key.

When the adjustment value is increased, reproducibility of the
background and the low density image is increased. When the
adjustment value is decreased, reproducibility of the back-
ground and the low density image is decreased.

 

This adjustment is used to adjust the image density in the low den-
sity area in the copy/scanner mode.

This adjustment is required in the following cases.

* When there is a desire not to reproduce the background of the

document. When there is a desire to reproduce the low density
image of the document.

* When there is request from the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-63 mode.

2)

Select the copy mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

MX-M1205  ADJUSTMENTS  5 – 62

3)

Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and press [OK] key.

When the adjustment value is increased, reproducibility of the
background and the low density image is increased. When the
adjustment value is decreased, reproducibility of the back-
ground and the low density image is decreased.
 

 

Use to adjust the reproducibility for the red image and the yellow
image when printing color document that included the red/yellow
image in monochrome copy mode.

This adjustment is required in the following cases.

* When there is desire to change reproducibility of yellow/red

image in case of making a color copy of the color document in
monochrome copy mode.

* When there is request from the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-37 mode.

2)

Select the mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

3)

Enter the adjustment value with 10-key.

When the adjustment value of adjustment item A is increased,
copy density of red image is decreased. When the adjustment
value is decreased, copy density of red image is increased.

When the adjustment value of adjustment item B is increased,
copy density of yellow image is decreased. When the adjust-
ment value is decreased, copy density of yellow image is
increased.

4)

Press [OK] key.

5)

Make a copy in monochrome text/printed photo copy mode
(manual), check the copy.

If a satisfactory result is not obtained, return to the SIM 46-37
mode and change the adjustment value.

Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is
obtained.

 

Use for sharpness adjustment of the high density image in mono-
chrome copy/color scan mode.

This adjustment changes smoothness (asperity) in the image
shade part.

This adjustment is required in the following cases.

* When changing the sharpness of copy image in copy mode.

(obtain crispy image) (decreases moire)

* When there is desire to improving smoothness in the image

shade part (for decrease of asperity)

* To make the black background and the dark area darker.

* To reproduce the gradation change in the dark area.

* When there is request from the user.

1)

3)

Input numeric value corresponding to sharpness level (filter
process mode).

• Adjustment item A:

When selecting AUTO, filter is selected according to dot pat-
tern state automatically and adjusts sharpness.

Input small numeric value to obtain crispy image. Input large
numeric value to decrease moire.

• Adjustment item B:

moire.

• Adjustment item C - J:

When setting ON, smoothness in the image shade part
improves by applying soft filter. (asperity decreases)

MX-M1205  ADJUSTMENTS  5 – 63

 

If a tone gap occurs on part of high density in copy mode, or if there
is necessity to increase the density of the part of high density,
change the setting.

This setting is normally not required. When, however, there are
case of following, change the setting.

* When a tone gap occurs on part of high density.

* When there is a necessity to increase the density of the part of

high density.

* When there is request from the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-23 mode.

2)

Select the item A, B with the scroll key.

* If a tone gap occurs on part of high density, set 0 to item A and B

The density of high density part decreases. However, the tone
gap is better.

* In case of more increase of the density on high density part, set 1

to item A and B.

The tone gap may occur in high density part.

NOTE: Do not change the setting values of item C, D, E and F. If

these values are changed, density of the high density part
is changed.

If these values are changed, be sure to execute the copy
gray balance density adjustment. (Auto adjustment) 

 

This setting is normally not required, however, in the following
cases, make changes to the setting:

* When copy in DSPF mode differs from copy in document table

mode.

* When copy density in DSPF mode is low or too high.

* When the DSPF unit is replaced.

* When the DSPF unit is disassembled.

* The CCD unit has been replaced.

* U2 trouble has occurred.

* When the MFP PWB is replaced.

* When the EEPROM on the MFP PWB is replaced.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-9 mode.

2)

Select the mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

When adjusting density on low density part, select "A (COPY
SIDEA:LOW)". When adjusting density on high density part,
select "D (COPY SIDEA:HIGH)".

3)

Enter the adjustment value with 10-key.

In case of increase of image density, input large numeric
value. Or in case of diluting the image density, input small
numeric value.

4)

Press [OK] key.

5)

Make a copy in the DSPF mode and check the copy.

If a satisfactory result is not obtained, return to the SIM 46-9 mode
and change the adjustment value.

Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is obtained.

MX-M1205  ADJUSTMENTS  5 – 64

 

In the user program mode, the user can execute the auto gray cali-
bration (auto adjustment of the copy gray balance and density).

This adjustment is to set Enable/Disable of the above user opera-
tion with SIM 26-53.

NOTE: This setting must be set to ENABLE only when the user's

understanding on the automatic adjustment of the copy
gray balance and density and the user's operational ability
are judged adequate enough to execute the adjustment.

When set to enable, operation procedures must be fully
explained to the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 26-53 mode.

2)

Select ENABLE or DISABLE with 10-key.

When disabling, set to "0" (NO). When enabling, set to "1"
(Yes).

3)

Press [OK] key.

When set to DISABLE, the menu of the user auto gray calibration
(automatic adjustment of copy gray balance and density) is not dis-
played in the user program mode.

NOTE: This adjustment is based on the service target gray bal-

ance set with SIM 63-7 and SIM 63-8. If, therefore, the
above settings are not properly performed, this adjustment
cannot be made properly.

1)

Enter the system setting mode.

2)

Enter the copy setting mode.

3)

Press the auto gray calibration key.

4)

Press [EXECUTE] key.

The gray patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed out.

5)

Set the gray patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in proce-
dure 4) on the document table.

Set the patch image so that the thin line is on the left side as
shown in the figure.

At that time, place 5 sheets of white paper on the above gray
patch image (adjustment pattern).

6)

Press [EXECUTE] key, and the copy gray balance adjustment
is executed automatically. After completion of the adjustment,
the display returns to the original operation screen.

The message, "Will you go on to the printer gray balance
adjustment?" is displayed.

To execute the printer gray balance adjustment successively,
perform the procedures same as the above.

 

This simulation is used to improve the image quality in a certain
mode. (Refer to the list in procedure 6.)

1)

Enter the SIM46-54 mode.

2)

Press [EXECUTE] key.

A4/11" x 8.5" or A3/11" x 17" paper is automatically selected.
The gray patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed.

3)

Set the patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in the proce-
dure 2) on the document table so that the thin lines on the
printed patch image (adjustment pattern) are on the left side.
Place 5 sheets of white paper on the printed patch image
(adjustment pattern).
