When the valueset for the mode increases,the amount of thinningincreases. (The imagedensity decreases.)Printing time does notincrease because themethod of image processingperformed by the controlleris changed. This mode isless effective than Mode c.Menu> SpecialMode c (c)Not used,Mode 1through 3 (Factorysetting: Not used)Extend the initial rotationperiod by processing of theengine. When the valueset for the mode increases,the initial rotation period isextended.The initial rotation periodin engine operation isextended, and printing timeincreases. The initial rotationperiod for each mode isshown below. Mode 1: 15sec, Mode 2: 30 sec, Mode 3:60 secT-6-1Image sampleF-6-3
