Setting Auto Exposure
Papers that are “less-white”, newsprint or ivory colored for example, can cause the printer to 
put toner on the page so that the printed output has a background that matches the original. The 
Auto Exposure setting removes the light or close to white color and only the image itself is 
printed. Auto Exposure is turned on by default.

To turn Auto Exposure on/off:
1. On the control panel, press the Copy button.
2. Select 
Auto Exposure, and then press the OK button.
3. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button to select 
On or Off, and then press the 
OK button.

Adjusting Color Balance
The Color Balance control allows you to adjust the print color of your printer. Three density 
settings exist for each of the four colors: yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. The Low, Medium, 
and High density settings adjust the output based on the level of color saturation. Examples of 
low density areas include faces and sky.

Defaults Settings, and then press the OK button.

Low, Medium, or High, and then 
press the OK button.
7. Adjust the density setting with the Up Arrow or Down Arrow.
Adjusting the setting negatively lowers (lightens) the density, and adjusting the setting 
positively will increase (darken) the density.
