SLOW

envelopes (or small paper) and standard paper

 

 

sizes and print problems appear.

 

 

Be sure to return the speed to NORMAL when

 

 

finished.

 

 

When slow is selected, the printer briefly

 

 

pauses between pages to reduce a repeating

 

 

image defect (see “Repeating image” on

 

 

page 134).

 

 

For more information, see “Printing envelopes”

 

 

on page 55.

paper type. (This is only necessary if you are

 

 

experiencing loose toner problems printing on

 

 

certain paper types.)

FUSER MODE MENU=YES. Most paper types are

 

HIGH 1

set to NORMAL fuser mode by default. The

 

exceptions are as follows:

 

HIGH 2

 

 

 

 

ROUGH=HIGH 1

 

 

TRANSPARENCY=LOW

 

 

NORMAL fuser mode provides a fuser

 

 

temperature for optimum results on most

 

 

typical papers.

 

 

LOW fuser mode provides a lower temperature,

 

 

which can help reduce curl on light-weight

 

 

paper. However, the toner might not adhere as

 

 

well to the page.

 

 

HIGH 1 fuser mode provides a higher fuser

 

 

temperature. HIGH1 should be used with

 

 

rough-textured or heavy paper if you are having

 

 

trouble with toner adhering to the page.

 

 

HIGH 2 fuser mode uses the same higher

 

 

temperature as HIGH 1, but it also slows printer

 

 

throughput, which creates the best fusing for

 

 

very rough paper. HIGH 2 is available only for

 

 

A4, Letter, and Legal sizes.
