[Image Diagnosis]

Machines mounted with Intelligent Quality Optimizer IQ-501 can run a diagnosis to find the causes of various defects on images including lines and spots (white and colored outlines, black and white blots and marks) using the [Image Diagnosis] feature. You can then make various adjustments based on the results of the diagnosis to try and improve the stability of the image quality.

It is recommended that you perform Image Diagnosis once per day after powering-on the system. If set to [Auto Run], this will be performed automatically once per day.

Tips

• For machines not mounted with Intelligent Quality Optimizer IQ-501, the [Image Diagnosis] option is not displayed. [Image Diagnosis] is not displayed in the default state. To use this setting, please contact your service representative.
