The processor is for: displaying, on the screen, the respective icons; and displaying, for each respective icon and on the screen, a respective description, in a first language, of a respective function, represented by said each respective icon, implementable by the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide increased accuracy in recalibrating the tone reproduction curve (TRC) for a photoelectric image sensor that senses density values. The sensor outputs sensed density values for tone patches. A recalibrated TRC is calculated from the original TRC, the known densities of the tone patches, and the sensed density values of the tone patches.

Abstract: An improved method for controlling the optical density of an image printed by an electrostatic printer is provided. The method compensates for optical density drift over the useful life of a toner receptacle by adjusting the voltage vector between the photoconductive belt and the toner particles. The method calculates an overall toner usage amount and adjusts the voltage vector when the amount reaches one or more predetermined values. In this manner, the present method controls the optical density of a printed image over the useful life of the toner receptacle.
