Labels

What to do
When you copy a thin double-sided original, the
information on the back side of the original may be
printed on the copy. Using black paper or an
underlay beneath the original may solve the
problem.
Select the settings that match the original and make
a copy. When the settings are made correctly, the
back side is not copied as the brightest part is
adjusted to white. This also removes the yellowish
color in the background.
If these problems cannot be solved even if the
settings are made correctly, select Text for
document type or set the contrast to a positive
value.
