Make multiple copies of Jet black print for example, open the platen cover and then make blank copies.Print out will be jet black.After about 60 to 70 copies background will be adjusted, if not then replace the toner.After replacing the toner if the background is still there then you must replace the developer.

i would suggest changing out the developer...if it becomes overtoned it will get a dark background

dark copies or background on the copies
if back ground on the copies need to replace the PCU unit

Do prints turn out ok how about the meter read report is that ok? setting are offer in the user mode

Hi,
yes it could be chatge rollers fault, but how many copies does developer have? I would clean the charge roller with water, dry it, and change the developer. On these digital machine, when you have backround wich is dark, these means that developer is worn out and you need to change it and clean developer cylindar. When the optics is dirty the image will be light, not dark!!!!! Only on analog copiers when optics is dirty the copy is dark, and when the developer is worned out the copy is light!!!!

dark copies you mean there is a dark background but image is still there?
it is usually happens when all mirrors and **** glass becomes dirty. you should clean it
well if you mean an image with pure black copy output, probably your exposure lamp is busted or the thermostat is open. :)

replace the drum unit (toner) your drum is weak causing dark background

More than likely the heat roller is bad causing ghost printing.

It's never going to be perfect (unless the background is quite light in colour), because the copier basically "sees" the coloured background as "gray", and the darker the background the more "gray" it looks. Try setting the original type to "photo" mode, and then adjusting the exposure a little lighter/darker....that's all you can basically do.
