Can i set up Auto exposure to darker images and to remain when i turn off/on machine?
Customer wants darker copies and he doesn't want every time to darken it again and again.
I searced in user tools but didn't find anything.

Why is it too light, try cleaning optics, set it darker then program as default.

Exactly!
How about servicing the machine and actually resolving the issue that's causing the problem, rather than trying to cover it up!

Agree with setting new default. Had a customer scanning and copying rubbish carbon copies off a dot matrix printer and not understanding that the copier couldn't magically give them a beter copy than the original.

Had to switch off auto exposure and set darkness manually and save as default...got a call back the next day when someone else wanted to copy a normal document and it came out too dark haha

For interest sake what drum is in the machine? This range hates the katun style light/lime green drums and you end up with light prints that end up as even lighter copies if original was printed on same machine

BAck in the day of analog coated copiers we had what were called intensifier sheets. What they were was a sheet of yellow gel similar to what is used in theatrical colored spot lights. Made the black(grey, etc) text and drawings look darker.

copy image is ok but the prototypes they copy are fade and they have to darken in order to have a good image. They usually copy that so is better when they have a normal prototype (rare) to get it lighter that every time to darken .

And that is exactly what the intensifier sheets were for.

As I've explain to many customers over the years when they are copying from carbon paper or light images, like register receipts, pencil sketch drawings.
I would show them how to place a pure black backing sheet over the top of the A4 original on the glass top platun.
Have them keep the "Black Backing" cover handy near the photocopier permanently.
You can get Black Backing sheets from any book binding supplies. Most offices would have black book binder covers in their location.

The black backing sheet will save the customer having to change the copier settings to make a darker copy.
I have a black backing sheet permanent near my own copier during tax time; to copy all those light print register receipts.
Works like a charm.

I never heard of those type of light filter sheets ...

You've taught me something.

About ten years before you got into the business. More the era of the Apeco Super Stat and before.

I've seen the clear dot matrix over lay sheets for generating a half tone image, similar to the old newspaper black an white dot pics.

this way with the black sheet is not practical for this case because customer copies from heave books(in this books they write the properties ownership and they are old, etc) . So is not practical that way.

Re: mp 2001

So set it up dark, press program, select set as default.

Re: mp 2001

One thing to check is original settings. Most models default to Text/Picture which is low contrast gray scale. Change to text only. Also try setting for generation.
