Hi

How do I adjust the scan density when scanning to my computer.  the manual says how to do it for scanning to email/USB/a file etc but not to a computer.

Thanks

Hi osborneuk.

When scanning to a computer from the MF426dw, most of those settings will be controlled from the MF Scan Utility.  The MF Scan Utility guides may be found at the following links:

Windows

Mac OS

Hi osborneuk.

Density is a measure of how much toner is used to produce an image (how dark it gets), as is the case in making copies or sending a fax.  When scanning to a computer, density is not used as a measure due to the lack of (potential) physical media at the receiving end of the process.  The measure, instead, is resolution (measured in DPI (Dots per Inch) or PPI (Pixels per Inch).
