Print is too dark
Try one or more of the following:
CHECK THE DARKNESS, BRIGHTNESS, AND CONTRAST SETTINGS
The Toner Darkness setting may be too dark, the Brightness setting may be too dark, or the Contrast setting may be
too high.
• Change these settings from the printer control panel Quality menu.
• For Windows users, change these settings from Print Properties.
• For Macintosh users:
1 Choose File > Print.
2 From the “Orientation pictures” menu, choose Printer Features.
3 Choose a lower value for the Toner Darkness, Brightness, and Contrast settings.
LOAD PAPER FROM A FRESH PACKAGE
The paper may have absorbed moisture due to high humidity. Store paper in its original wrapper until you use it.

Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper loaded in the tray or feeder:
• From the printer control panel Paper menu, check the Paper Type setting.
