Issue description
The issue is seen on new MFPs where the copy function results in Light Copies using the printers default copy settings. This occurs regardless of feed method, e.g., automatic document feeder (ADF) or flatbed.
However, the copy darkness is okay when scanning to network folder or sending a normal print job.
