Printing on paper with a special finish

Some paper has a special finish, such as laid paper, bond paper, and cockled paper. These types of paper can cause issues in regard to toner adhesion and print quality. Follow these guidelines when printing on paper with a special finish.

 

 

At the printer control panel, open the Configure Device menu. On the Print Quality submenu,

 

 

select FUSER MODES, and then select the paper type you are using (such as BOND). Set the

 

 

fuser mode to HIGH 1 or HIGH 2. HIGH 2 provides better toner adhesion and optimal print

 

 

quality for paper with a highly textured finish. Open the Paper Handling menu and set TRAY

 

 

TYPE to HIGH 1 or HIGH 2 to enable the fuser mode.

 

 

Note

The printer might print at a slower speed when set at HIGH 1 or HIGH 2.

 

￿

 

Use the HIGH 1 and HIGH 2 settings only if you are experiencing toner-adhesion problems. The HIGH 1 and HIGH 2 settings might increase curl and jam problems.

Some makers of these types of paper are now coating one side of the paper to enhance

￿toner adhesion and print quality. To take advantage of this feature, make sure to load the paper correctly. The side on which you can read the watermark correctly is the front side, or the side to be printed.

For tray 1, load paper with the front side facing up, and the top, short edge toward the printer.

Orientation for tray 1

For tray 2, optional 500-sheet trays, and the optional 1,500-sheet tray, load paper with the front side facing down, and the top, short edge toward you.
