a. General
The gray balance adjustment (Manual adjustment) is used to adjust
the copy density. This is used at the following situation. When the
result of auto adjustment described above is not existing within the
range of reference. When a fine adjustment is required. When
there is request from the user for changing (customizing) the gray
balance.

there is request from the user for changing (customizing) the gray
balance.
This manual adjustment is executed only for the gray patch which
could not adjusted properly in the automatic adjustment.
