The density is uneven.

Solution:

The solution depends on the type of unevenness. Carry out the appropriate procedure from those in the following table:

(A) The density is uneven across the entire image.

The density from top to bottom is uneven.

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, do the procedure for uneven density from top to bottom. (Uneven Density from Top to Bottom)

The sides are fainter or denser.

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual . Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, consult the product specialist.

The top and bottom are fainter or denser.

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, consult the product specialist.

(B) The density is uneven in a part of the image.

The leading edge is fainter.

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, do correction for Fainter Leading Edge. (Fainter Leading Edge)

The trailing edge is fainter.

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, do correction for Fainter Trailing Edge. (Fainter Trailing Edge)

The center is fainter or denser

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, consult the product specialist.

Wavy unevenness

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, consult the product specialist.

(C) The density is uneven in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction at regular intervals.

Periodic vertical density fluctuation

 
  • On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators > Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)
  • If the problem persists, do correction for Periodic Density Fluctuation. (Periodic Density Fluctuation)
