For 1200 dpi/OHP/Thick paper mode, it is always approx 30 seconds.
Toner adjustment mode can add anything up to an extra minute, depending
on the conditions.
Comparison with AT-C1:
For process control that is done just after a print job, note that the time is
reduced to 11 seconds (for full colour) or 6 seconds (for black-and-white
jobs). For the AT-C1 it was always 20 seconds.
Why is it quicker? The sensor pattern is made while the last page of the job
is still feeding out of the machine. In the AT-C1, the machine waits until the
paper is completely fed out before the patterns are made. Also, for black and
white, the Di-C1 only makes the black sensor pattern.
