Changing toner density setting

Increase the TONER DENSITY setting in the Print Quality submenu. Toner density controls the lightness or darkness of the print on a page. The settings range from 1 (light) to 5 (dark). The default setting is 3. The setting can be increased to 4 or 5 to darken the print. These settings consume more toner than the default setting of 3. If it is not possible to gain access to a menu or item, it is either not an option for the printer, or the associated higher-level option has not been enabled. See the network administrator if a function has been locked. ("ACCESS DENIED MENUS LOCKED" appears on the printer control panel display.)
