Select "Auto" or a more appropriate exposure setting if copies are too light or dark. Select the "Text" exposure setting if copied text is not clear. Place the original document face up in the SPF space or face down on the document glass if copies are blank. Ensure the copy paper is dry and within the specified size and weight range if parts of the copied image disappear in places. Clean the document glass regularly and ensure the original document is clean if copies look dirty. Clean the transfer charge if lines appear on copies.
