MFX2850 Scans and Copies are Light

[Solotime]

Anyone know the best adjustment for this? PC Prints are ok. It is just scanning light. All I have for this model is an Intravia guide. Normally work on Minoltas and the service interface on this thing is waaayyy different. All the user adjustments are set to the best possible already.
Thanks!

clean mirrors and glass, pay attention to haze on bottom of glass, once it is all clean run a background level adjustment. push settings button, then *09, then select background adj.. make sure nothing is on the glass.

Are the scans light from just the ADF or from the FBS as well?
Try setting the background level (Setting, *, 0, 9-background level. Select "both" when prompted to select "front", "back" or "both". Try a test page after setting the background.
If that fails, call 1-800-347-3296 and select option #1 for assistance.
