Using Ink Density Optimization

Your product can automatically agitate the ink cartridges to eliminate any inconsistencies in ink density, called Auto Ink Density Optimization.
Note: Ink Density Optimization does not consume ink.

By default, the setting is set to On and we recommend leaving it turned on. If you turn off Auto Ink Density Optimization, run the Ink Density Optimization utility manually once a week, as described here.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Windows: Access the Windows Desktop, right-click the product icon in the Windows taskbar, and select Printer Settings. Click the Utility tab and select Printer and Option Information.
    • OS X: In the Apple menu or the Dock, select System Preferences. Select Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners, select your product, and select Options & Supplies. Select Utility and select Open Printer Utility.
  2. Select Ink Density Optimization and follow the on-screen instructions. The  power light starts flashing. Optimization is finished in about 30 seconds.
    Note: Do not open the printer cover or front manual feed tray while the  power light is flashing.
