1.3.21 Sensitivity adjustment of density sensor (Function code 72)
<Function>
This function is used to print the patch data for density sensor sensitivity adjustment on the
belt unit and measure the density with the density sensor. The characteristics of the density
sensor are calculated based on the value measured by the density sensor, and the parameter
for correcting developing bias voltage is adjusted.
<Operating procedure>
* # indicates the toner color (Y, M, or C) of which cartridge became empty.
