Flow of operation
Auto gradation correction is
executed in user mode.
(auto)
The photosensitive drum is
rotated.
The LED is turned on, and
the light reflected by the
surface of the photosensitive
drum is measured by the
sensor (PS); then, the
intensity of light is checked
by conversion into voltage.
On the surface of the
photosensitive drum, a
sample color toner image
(patch image) is created, and
the LED is turned on; then,
the sensor (PS) is used to
check the intensity of light
by voltage conversion,
ultimately setting P-TRGT.
(no need for adjustment)
