Ink Density Optimization

Eliminates inconsistencies in ink density within the
cartridges for consistent color reproduction. The print
head is moved left and right to uniform the ink density.
This operation does not consume ink.
By default, the function that periodically performs this
operation automatically (Auto Ink Density
Optimization) is set to On. We normally recommend
that this setting is left as On.
See the following when changing Auto Ink Density
Optimization settings.
