You haven't given us much with which to work but...
It almost sounds like your dough may be too dry causing your bread not
to rise enough. With the Wel-Bilt and DAK machines I've noticed that, if
the pan isn't fulled, all the heat gets applied to the part of the pan
holding the bread. That gets too hot and the crust gets too dark.
