This mode allows you to set values in the non-volatile memory for the character density and paper size codes for
the input tray. The density of the characters can be set to any value between 0 and 4.

This mode is entered by pressing KEY 1 while turning the power switch ON and then holding KEY 1 down for longer
than three seconds. The LCD will display the following message.
"DENSITY TUNING" is displayed on the top row indicating that the print density adjustment mode is now on display.
The "*" on the bottom row shows the current setting (2) for the character density. This value is also assigned to
non-volatile memory code 2. (Refer to 1.8.3 List of Non-volatile Codes.)

1.5.3 Print Density Adjustment

[1] After entering user settings mode, the density
value increases by one each time KEY 0 is
pressed, and this value is stored in the non-
volatile memory simultaneously.
