The Print is too Light or too Dark:
The print density dial is located in
the corner under the top cover.
(Remove the drum unit.) You can use
it to adjust print density by increasing
or decreasing the Print Density
function setting you chose.
The print may become darker or
lighter as conditions change (such as
changing the toner cartridge and
drum unit or if the machine has
become overheated from heavy use).
Use a straight blade screwdriver to
turn the print density dial clockwise
for darker print and counterclockwise
for lighter print. The dial has been set
to the middle position.
Make five or six copies to bring the toner up to the level of the new setting.
If the print is still too light, check to see if the Toner Save feature is ON (see page 7-8).
