Scanning Text Issue - Scans Too Light

My new Canon imageclass MF4770n is scanning my document text too light. I have never had this problem before when using my old HP scanner/fax/printer. Is the fix located in the Toolbox? My IT person did not load that onto my computer. I have tried adjusting the finishing quality on the scanner software and selected BW Scan on the Canon itself. If I use another scanner in our office, the light text or hand written comments comes out readible, but not with the Canon. Thank you for any help you can give me.

What you're wanting is an increase of the text's density. This Canon page tells you how to obtain that for faxing. Try it, but it may not be possible for plain scanning.
