Making Copies Darker Or Lighter COPYING Making Copies Darker Or Lighter To make darker or lighter copies, you should change the copier's density setting. There are 14 density levels: the standard density level, three darker levels, and 10 lighter levels. Set the density with the Lighter and Darker keys ( & ) under the density indicator. The indicator shows seven levels at a time. When you start from the standard image density, the middle notch corresponds to the standard image density, the three right notches correspond to the darker densities, the three left notches to lighter densities. The brighter notch shows which level is now set. If you go lower than the leftmost notch, the Lighter Copy indicator lights up. The notches on the indicator will then correspond to the seven lightest levels. To set the image density, follow the keystrokes below before setting your original. C C/ ¶ Press the Lighter key to make the image lighter. · Press the Darker key to make the image darker. 7
