About Print Density
Print density is the amount of toner placed on the page, making the
print appear lighter or darker. The higher the density, the darker the
print looks and the higher the contrast is on the page.
Note: If the print density is too light, make sure that the

Administration/Engine/Conserve Toner option is turned off before
making any adjustments. The Conserve Toner option saves toner by
simulating draft-quality printing. (See chapter 4, "Printer
Configuration," of the Reference for more information.)
To adjust the print density use the following procedure.
1
Open the multipurpose tray, push up on the front cover
release button, and open the front cover.
2
Locate the density adjustment dial that is inside the printer
on the right side.
The scale on the density adjustment dial shows the density set-
ting; the dark marking identifies increased density, and the light
marking identifies reduced density.
3
Adjust the dial to the desired setting.
To increase density (darken the print on the page), use your left
thumb to rotate the dial up. To decrease density (lighten the print),
rotate the dial down. The dial clicks at the center setting.

Note: You may want to increase density as the toner cartridge
depletes.
