Change the Lighter / Darker setting
You can change the contrast of a fax to be darker or lighter than the original. This
feature is useful if you are faxing a document that is faded, washed out, or
handwritten. You can darken the original by adjusting the contrast.
NOTE: The Lighter / Darker setting applies to black-and-white faxes only, not
color faxes.
When you exit the Fax menu, this option returns to the default setting unless you set
your changes as the default.
