May I know the model # of your machine?
Some of brother machine have the copy options where you can change the brightness, contrast and color of the document that you are copying.
For example for MFC-240:
You can change the brightness contrast by pressing copy mode. Then load the document in the feeder, press copy option so that it will show the option to change the brightness, contrast and color. Just press the arrow key to select the brightness then hit ok/menu. then press arrow key to have it lighter/darker..
Hope this helps.
To adjust the default lighter/darker setting
1. On the LaserJet 3015, press MENU/ENTER.
2. Use the < or the > button to select Copy setup, and then press MENU/ENTER.
3. Use the < or the > button to select Def. Light/Dark, and then press MENU/ENTER.
4. Use the < or the > button to adjust the setting. Move the slider to the left to make all of the
copies lighter than the original, or move the slider to the right to make all of the copies
darker than the original.
5. Press MENU/ENTER to save the selection.
Page 48 of the User Guide has instructions for adjusting the light/dark setting during a copy job.
Also see the Troubleshooting section of the User Guide for other possible reasons for light/faded copies.
If your copies continue to come out too light, you may need to clean the insert a new toner cartridge or change brands of toner. I tried several "generic" toner cartridges and refills, but my prints and copies were always faded or streaky. After going back to genuine HP cartridges, I haven't had any print quality problems.
