HP C4344, C4342 manual Fax transmission is slow, Parts of a fax I sent are cut off

Solution 5: Use the Lighter/Darker setting to darken the original when sending the fax

Solution: Make a copy to check the quality of the printout. If the printout is too light, you can darken it by adjusting the Lighter/Darker setting when sending the fax.

For more information, see:

“Change the Lighter/Darker setting” on page 24

Cause: The Lighter/Darker setting might have been set too light. If you were sending a faded, washed out, or handwritten fax, or a document with a watermark (such as a red seal or stamp), you can change the Lighter/Darker setting to send the fax darker than the original.
