Reducing the Waiting Time Prior to Printing

After receiving a print job, the machine usually stops to let the fusing temperature reach an appropriate level for printing.

The waiting time for the fusing unit to cool down may be quite long, especially before printing on thin paper. By decreasing the fusing temperature during standby, you can reduce the waiting time.

By changing the fusing temperature to feed paper after warm-up, you can also reduce the waiting time.

Note

  • When printing on paper other than thin paper, we recommend leaving the above settings unchanged.

  • To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper. For details about registering custom papers, see "Specifying a Custom Paper", Preparation.

  • After performing the solution, it is recommended to perform the color calibration of the external controller.

1Register the paper in the custom paper profile.

2In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper you are using, select 1232: [Fusing Temperature], and then check the present value in the following corresponding settings.

  • [BW/FC/FCS]

    [Heat Roller Temp]

  • [FCS]

    [Heat Roller Temp: Clr/Sp], [Heat Roller Temp: White]

  • [S]

    [Heat Roller Temp: Clr/Sp], [Heat Roller Temp: White]

  • [BW/FC/FCS: Fuser Setting HQ]

    [Heat Roller Temp]

  • [FCS: Fuser Setting HQ]

    [Heat Roller Temp: Clr/Sp], [Heat Roller Temp: White]

  • [S: Fuser Setting HQ]

    [Heat Roller Temp: Clr/Sp], [Heat Roller Temp: White]

3Is it 160°C or lower?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Proceed to Step 5.

4In the [Machine: Productivity] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Operators] menu, select 0403: [Fusing Temperature on Standby], and then decrease the values in the following settings by 10°C.

  • [Heat Rlr: On Standby]

  • [Heat Rlr: On Panel Off]

  • [Press Rlr: Before Process]

5In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper you are using, select 1235: [Fusing Temperature Range], and then increase the value in the following corresponding settings by 3 step.

  • [BW/FC/FCS]

    [Level: BW/FC/FCS]

  • [FCS]

    [Level: Clear/Special], [Level: White]

  • [S]

    [Level: Clear/Special], [Level: White]

  • [BW/FC/FCS: Fuser Setting HQ]

    [Level: BW/FC/FCS]

  • [FCS: Fuser Setting HQ]

    [Level: Clear/Special], [Level: White]
