[Sharp/Soft], [Contrast], and [Background Density Adjustment] can each be individually; however, their adjustments can affect the level of other adjustment functions.
You should set [Background Density Adjustment] closer to [Dark] to darken the color of markers or highlighters. However, the color of highlighters is difficult to reproduce, so the copied color may appear different and some colors may not be copied.
If part of the text is faded or is not clear, set [Text/Photo Sensitivity Adjustment] closer to [Text], and if the contours of the photo are dark, set it closer to [Photo].
