adjustment, drying time required after the BRS adjustment

pattern has been printed differs. For PFP adjustment pattern/PFP

check pattern, drying time is not required.

For “CCD” sensor:

Printed pattern can be scanned straight away. (Drying time of

about 2 minutes is recommended.)

For “CIS” sensor:

Printed pattern needs to be dried more than 5 minutes.
