ADJUSTING COPY IMAGE DENSITY

To make copies darker or lighter, change the density setting. There are 14 density levels: the

standard density level, three darker level, and 10 lighter levels. Set the density with the Lighter and

Darker keys under the density indicator.

Notes

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

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

words Lighter Copy light up. The notches on the indicator correspond to the seven lightest

levels.

Press the Lighter or Darker key to adjust copy

density.

Each time you press the Lighter key,the indicator moves one step to the left. When the indicator

reaches the left edge, it returns to the right edge and the “Lighter Copy” indicator lights.
