How do the copies look? Most commonly dark print is caused by defective generic supplies or dirty laser scanner.

My intelifax 4100 has been sitting for a few years and I just plugged it in and it prints the words fine, but there is shadow or darkness behind the words. I cleaned the glass under the keyboard, I thought...

if it's been sitting a long time, you may need to disassemble the unit and clean the mirrors and CCD lens.
This applies only if it's copies and faxes going out that have the shadow.
If incoming faxes have the same issue, then you may need to replace the toner.

When sending fax, the reciever get a blacked out or very dark page. However when we recieve incoming fax, it's not dark at all. But if you copy a page , it is very dark.

hello, if you have already cleaned the contact image sensor, or cis unit, its located between both rollers when you lift up the top cover that has the buttons on it. sometimes, this cis/contact image unit fails, and will need to be replaced.

Why are all my incoming faxes all black pages?? Is it my fax or the senders? Very hard on the ink cartridge

hard to determine the problem without any make/model of your fax machine. However I would begin by looking at the fax contrast and darkness settings, they are likely cranked to the dark side. If you cannot find these settings or this doesnt help. post your make/model information. I don't believe this should affect sending faxes, its likely just a print / contrast setting for received faxes.

Incoming faxes are dark. They keep getting darker by each page faxed. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Open the fron cover & remove the drum.In the drum unit you will see a BLUE knob just move it right to left approx 20 times.
After that fix the drum back & try to copy.

If the problem is same change the drum unit as the cleaning blade of the drum has been damaged

Rate me if it was helpfull...

When I fax out or use it as a copier it leaves dark streaks on the page. This problem is not consistent. It always makes perfect copies on incoming faxes. Problems with the scanning light?

I'm afraid so. It's not worth fixing. Brother won't sell parts to end-users.

Dark band on left hand side of incoming faxes

Your toner cartridge is leaking toner onto the transfer roller. There is no cure except for replacing the cartridge.
