Quality Start Mode— Regaining The
Image Density When The Ink On The Drum
Dries
If the machine is not used for a long
period of time or you change the color
drum unit, the ink on the drum might
dry causing print quality to deterio-
rate. To solve this problem, you can
have the machine carry out a few idle
spins of the drum before a print run.
This will restore image quality and
save you having to make a repeat
print run.
You can use this feature in two ways:
❖
❖ ❖
❖
Manual Quality Start
Choose Quality Start for the next
print run manually using the
{
Quality Start
}
key.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Auto Quality Start
Have the machine check automati-
cally how long ago the machine
was used before each print run. If
the machine has not been used for
a long time, Quality Start will be
used for the print job. By default,
Auto Quality Start mode is on. You
can turn it off with the user tools.
