6.1.2 Adjustment of the Auto-Toner Sensor
When the developer material is replaced, adjust the auto-toner sensor in the following procedure.
If the value of 08-2707 (toner density ratio manual offset control) of the replacing developer material
has been changed from "0" (default), return the sub code value of the corresponding color to "0".
(1) Install the cleaner unit and developer unit.
Notes:
Do not install the toner cartridge.

(2) While pressing [0] and [5] simultaneously, turn the power ON. The following message will be
displayed.

• During the adjustment, “Current sensor voltage (V)” shown in (B) automatically changes and
gradually approaches to “Target value (V) for adjustment reference voltage” shown in (A).

 (5) When the “Current sensor voltage (V)” in (B) is converged and the “Sensor output control value
(bit value)” corresponding to the value for initial developer material is displayed in (C), the
adjustment is completed.
• When the adjustment is completed, the [OK] button is displayed on the screen.

The values in (A), (B) and (C) vary with humidity.

(6) Press the [OK] button to store the adjustment result in the memory.

(7) Turn the power OFF and install the toner cartridges.
Notes:
When "Waste toner box replacement" is displayed at adjustment, follow the steps below.

6.1.3 Performing Image Quality Control
(1) When unpacking
Prior to image dimensional adjustment, perform the “Forced performing of image quality closed-
loop control (05-2742)” procedure.
(2) When any of the following parts is replaced, be sure to perform the “Forced performing of image
quality closed-loop control (05-2742)” procedure.
• Photoconductive drum
• Developer material
• LED printer head
• LED gap spacer
• Transfer belt
• 1st transfer roller
• Drum cleaning blade
• Needle electrode
• Main charger grid
• Image position aligning sensor (Front)
• Image position aligning sensor (Rear)/Image quality sensor
Notes:
When performing “Automatic gamma adjustment” in addition, “Forced performing of image
quality closed-loop control (05-2742)” should be done first.

(3) When performing “Automatic gamma adjustment” in cases no parts written above are replaced,
do the “Forced performing of image quality closed-loop control (05-2742)” procedure before
“Automatic gamma adjustment”.
