Tone Curve Adjustment

the original. Perform this function to ensure consistency with the original tone. Before executing Tone Curve Adjustment,
execute calibration (see page 10-38).
NOTE
To perform tone curve adjustment, verify that either Letter or A4 paper is loaded into a cassette.
A total of 2 pattern pages (No. 1 and 2) are printed during adjustment. The printed patterns are read sequentially during
