Purpose of the Imaging Manual
The Imaging Manual is intended for customers using the Toshiba e-STUDIO5520C/6520C/6530C with a variety
of specific needs and inquiries for high image quality, such as:
x How to obtain a clearer copy image
x How to maintain the current image quality
x How to make the text look sharper on the copy
The Toshiba MFPs are factory-configured to provide image quality settings that satisfy the majority of customers.
However, these settings may not be necessarily optimal for the specific needs of all customers. Proper image
quality adjustments can satisfy such needs. Most of the adjustments described in this manual must be performed
by a service technician, but a few of them can also be performed by the customer.
It is strongly recommended that this manual be fully utilized by not only the service technician, but also the sales
representative, who also has opportunities of obtaining customer feedback on the image quality. This manual
helps the sales representative to study and comprehend what kind of customer requirements for image quality
can be satisfied, to make proposals to customers to improve image quality, and to communicate the customers’
specific requirements with ease to the service technician. In addition, this manual is expected to facilitate the
marketing of Toshiba MFPs to prospective customers that have a specific demand for image quality and the
expansion of sales.
The adjustments described in this manual are all based on the requests of actual customers. Meeting their
specific wishes will only add to their satisfaction.
Please remember to read "Caution after the adjustment," to which you must pay close attention, after finishing
the adjustment.
