Specify the intensity when you want to make the darkened/lightened copy. You can also set the intensity to automatically adjust according to the original. When Auto adjust (A) is selected, the ADF is not available.

Image quality

Specify the image quality according to the requirements of the original to copy: High, Standard, and Fast. The available image quality options vary depending on the paper selected for Media type.

The settings of the print quality, automatic intensity adjustment, etc. are retained, and these settings will appear next time when the copy mode is selected even if the power is turned off and on. The settings of the page size and media type are retained and shared among the copy mode, fax mode, and template print.

If you select Fast with the media type set to Plain paper and the quality is not as good as expected, select Standard or High and then try copying again.
