PIXMA TR8620 Color and Contrast are Off on Scanned Drawings

[realDavidRagin]

I currently own a Canon TR8620 (a PIXMA apparently) and I'm trying to scan some drawings to the computer, but the color and contrast are off. The darker colors appear close to black. I know it's the printer because I've tried scanning it and uploading it to my drive and it still looks the same. And there doesn't appear to be a way to change the color settings from the printer itself. 

This is the initial drawing.

And this is how its looked when it's scanned.

Is there a way to fix this issue, or am I just S.O.L.?
