    Mpc3500 print from computer very dark

    All. Pro, anyone know where can I make the adjustments for mpc3500 if the print out from computer the results turn out to be very dark in color as compare to the Original photo?

    As in copying mode, I can do the lighten adjustment, but print from computer, where is the way to rectify it? Tq

    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

      depending on the operating system... and which print driver you are using, the print driver might have a limited set of controls.

      are you an end user or tech?

                        clean optics and music sensors when you find them do line position adjustment then ACC for copy and all printer modes.

                            You can start with Auto Color Calibration in User Tools. As always, clean optics first, then run ACC for copying to calibrate the scanner then run all printer ACC.

                            Try installing the RPCS driver and turning on Toner saving.

                              Printer SP 1106 will allow you to adjust the toner limit for printing. Reducing the number reduces the max toner amount.
