Selecting the correct fuser mode

 

The printer automatically adjusts the fuser mode based on the paper type to which the tray is set.

 

For example, heavy paper (such as card stock) might need a higher fuser-mode setting (such as

 

HIGH 2) 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 fuser mode is NORMAL for all types

 

except transparencies (default is LOW), and rough paper (default is HIGH 1). The default setting

 

generally provides the best performance for most print media types.

 

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

 

using. (See “Printing by type and size of paper (locking trays)” on page 48.) After the paper type

 

has been set for the tray, then the fuser mode for that type can be changed on the Print Quality

 

submenu at the printer control panel. (See “Print Quality submenu” on page 159.)

 

 

Note

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