Using the Print Density Adjustment
The Print Density Adjustment option allows you to lighten or darken the printed image your printer

on nonvolatile EEPROM.
To adjust print density:
1. Hold down [2] and switch ON printer Main Power.
2. Hold down [2] for five seconds.
3. Release the key.
The LCD displays the Density Tuning message. The printer is in the Print Density Adjustment
option. The bottom line of the message “Light<012*4>Dark “is the Density Adjustment gauge.
