articles from appearing in the copy, press the key to select a
lighter density level. In order to reproduce pale colors in bright areas
of the image, press the key to select a darker density level.
Note
Selecting a density level that is too dark may cause the media color of
the document to be reproduced, and selecting a level that is too light
may produce a very faint copy. Therefore, select the appropriate level
depending on the document.
