<p class="MsoNormal">If you submit by Simplifile, you have to set your scanner to scan in Black & White. When you turn off grayscale scanning, the gray numbers will be darker. Then it complies with the readability requirement.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you submit by paper, then you need to print the REETA in Black & White. Then the gray numbers will print as black.<u></u><u></u></p>
