I have two Brother laser printers. Not surprisingly the newer one
(HL-2170w) prints a test page somewhat darker than the old HL-5140 even
with new toner and drum cartridges.
Printing a test page from either one shows the Density set to 0. I
assume that setting the density higher puts more toner on the paper and
produces darker text however I am unable to find how to change the
density setting. There is an item for Density under Print > Advanced,
as well as Brightness and Contrast, but they have no perceptible effect
that I can see. The printer works as it is but I think it could be
better.
Has anyone any thoughts on where to change this? There must be a
configuration file somewhere ...
Thanks,
Bob
Both of my brother printers have a feature called "Toner Saving". If you
can find that in the printer setup, you can try changing it.
