You need to clean the scanner. You can try doing the shading adjustment to calabrate the scanner but most likely the mirrors are hazed up. Since you can print fine you eliminate the laser.
To do the shading adjustment, you need to press in order,,, Menu # 1934, You will see a " T "on the screen, that will be the tech mode. Press the machine status, then go to maintenance, then scroll to shading. Place 5 sheets of white paper on the glass and then run the shading adjustment. turn the machine off and on, and run copies again. But most likely you will have to take the scanner off and clean it.
If you want to clean the scanner let me know, I will send you directions on how to do that. The mirrors in that scan head tend to haze up.

Thanks a lot for your response. I can't get my machine into tech mode. Are you saying:
1. Hit the "Double quote/comma" button three times
2. Hit the "Menu/Exit" button
3. Hit the "& #" button
4. Type in "1984"
Thanks.
OK. Got into tech mode and did the scan test. Copier still prints 'light' (fonts have an outline feel to them).
What can I try now?
Thanks!
OK. How do I clean the scanner?
How do you take scanner off and clean it?
