# Adjusting Density

|  | You can adjust the density of the copy if the text or images in a document are too light or dark. You can also adjust the background to remove the background color when document pages are lightly colored or yellowing.

Adjust both the density and background when copying a document printed on thin paper, such as a newspaper, so that the text and images on the opposite side of the page are not visible in the copy.

<Copy> <Density> Adjust the density <Apply>

#### <->

Decreases the density.

#### <+>

Increases the density.

##### Adjusting the Background Density

<Copy> <Density> <Background> <Adjust (Manual)> Adjust the density <Apply>

#### <->

Makes the background color lighter.

#### <+>

Makes the background color darker.

When you set <Background> to <Auto>, automatic adjustment is performed so that the background color becomes white. In this case, <Original Type> is automatically set to <Text> (Selecting Document Type).
