When copying a document or photo in black and white, how can I darken the copy or set the copy quality to a higher level? I’ve aligned the printheads and run the cleaning function a few times but the black ink is still lighter than I want.
I find nothing on the app to adjust it and no way to make adjustments on the printer itself when making copies.
