Adjusting the Image Density

You can adjust the image density using the control panel if the image density is not appropriate.

Extreme settings may create printouts that appear dirty.
Image Density settings should be made from the application or the printer driver whenever possible.

To maintain a darker image under high volume printing conditions, Selecting 3 from the control panel is highly recommended.
You can adjust the image density in seven steps from -6 to +3. Increasing the value makes the printouts darker and decreasing the value makes the printouts lighter.
