Selecting the correct fuser mode

 

The printer automatically adjusts the fuser mode based on the media type to which the tray

 

is set. For example, heavy paper, such as card stock, might need a higher fuser-mode

 

setting in order to make the toner adhere better to the page, but transparencies need the

 

LOW fuser-mode setting to avoid damage to the printer. The default setting generally

 

provides the best performance for most print-media types.

 

The fuser mode can be changed only if the media type has been set for the tray that you are

 

using. (See Printing by type and size of media (locking trays).) After the media type has

 

been set for the tray, then the fuser mode for that type can be changed on the CONFIGURE

 

DEVICE menu in the PRINT QUALITY submenu at the printer control panel. (See Print

 

Quality submenu.)

 

Using a higher fuser mode, such as HIGH 1 or HIGH 2, improves the ability of the toner to

NOTE

 

adhere to paper, but it might cause other problems, such as excessive curl. The printer

 

might print at a slower speed when the fuser mode is set to HIGH 1 or HIGH 2.

 

To reset the fuser modes to the default settings, open the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu at

 

the printer control panel. On the PRINT QUALITY submenu, select FUSER MODES, and

 

then select RESTORE MODES.
