You can adjust the quality and darkness on the front panel
Depending on the type of document you are trying to copy:
Select the type to one of the following.
CONTENT TYPE
Specify the type of document in the ADF:
- Text and graphic (default)
- Photo
- Text only
- Line drawing
If that does not produce the quality desired, try adjusting the Lightness / Darkness setting.
If the problem is with all copies, the optical scanner may need cleaning.
Improving print quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of your document, make sure you:
- Use the appropriate paper for the document.
- Use paper that is a heavier weight, bright white, or coated.
- Select a higher print quality:
- From your software program, click File Print.
The Print dialog box appears.
- From the Print dialog box, click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup.
- From the Quality/Speed area, select Better or Best.

Cleaning the scan lens and white roller
If you notice poor image quality in scans, faxes, or copies, you may need to clean the scan lens and the white roller.
- Unplug the power cord and the phone line from the wall.
- Open the control panel.
- Pull the roller lever forward, and then lift the white roller out of the All-In-One.
Note: The scan lens is located under the white roller.
- Use a clean, lint-free cloth dampened with water to wipe the white roller and the scan lens.
- Reinstall the white roller.
- Reconnect the power cord and the phone line.
Hope this helps, Jim
