Making Copies Chapter 3

Image Density

Touch on the Touch Panel. Then, a screen appears that allows you to adjust the image density
and background level of the copy.
Adjusting the background level:
Slide the level towards the Lighter side if you don’t want the data on the back side of a newspaper or
magazine page copied. Slide it towards the Darker side if you want to reproduce pale colors of a bright
area of the original.
When you adjust the level towards the Darker side, the copier also copies the background. If you slide the
level towards the Lighter side, the resultant copy will become lighter. Select the appropriate level
according to your original.

Adjusting the background level

The copier automatically selects the best possible
background level. If you make a black-and-white
copy from an original which is a faint pencil-
written text, the copier automatically makes the
text darker as it appears on the copy.
