Reducing Toner ConsumptionProblemIn order to maintain image quality (IQ), the press will enter “Adjust Image Quality” mode. Inthis mode, toner is consumed in the form of toner bands and process control patches being laiddown. Frequency of the “Adjust Image Quality” is dependent on many factors including areacoverage. While printing jobs of low area coverage/low image density, the frequency of “AdjustImage Quality” may be greater.Suggested SolutionThree NVM values can be adjusted to reduce toner consumption based on user requirements.Refer to the following table. From the first column of the table, select the solution which bestfits user requirements, and then change the NVM values as shown for each of the three NVMsettings.ImportantTo select the outcome appropriate for your environment, contact the system administrator.NVM 762-108NVM 752-175NVM 762-085User RequirementSet NVM to 3Set NVM to 1 (On)Set NVM to 1 (On)1.
