I have a Canon MF8380cdw where the scans made to a file are too light. Using the browser interface and the printer IP address I logged into “Management Mode”, selected “Settings/Registration”, “Function Settings”, "Scan Settings" and changed the “Density” value but there is no change in the resulting scan after the change. I tried both “+4” and “-4” and the resulting scan is the same as if it was still set to “0”.
As a further test I changed the orientation from portrait to landscape and the resulting scan to a file was still in portrait orientation.
I have confirmed that any setting I change is actually changed and saved by logging out and logging back into the UI.
I would have thought any change in the settings via the browser would change the default settings but apparently not. The settings do not seem to have any effect for both “remote scans” and “computer scans”.
Obviously I am doing something wrong. Is there anyone familiar enough with permanently adjusting the density of scans to assist me?
