Improving Throughput When Printing on Coated Paper with a Thickness Equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or Higher
Previous
When printing on coated paper with a thickness equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or higher, the machine's copy/print speed must be reduced to 80% of full speed (for A4 paper) so that the degree of toner fixation can be enhanced.
To have the machine print at full speed, follow the procedure below:
Select [Machine: Paper Feed / Output] in [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper in use, select 1351: [Motor Speed] and increase the value in [Process Speed Setting] by one step.
If it is presently set to [Low], change it to [Middle].
If it is presently set to [Middle], change it to [High].
Select 1206: [Fusing Temperature], and then set [Heat Roller Temp] to "185 degrees".
Print the image. Does it exhibit any fusing problem?
Yes |
You cannot improve throughput under the present condition. Restore the previous setting. |
No |
You can operate the machine using this setting. |
When printing is performed in an indoor environment at a temperature below 15°C (59°F), the throughput may not be improved by this solution.
Pro 8310S and Pro 8310 do not have the [Middle] setting.
The process speed of Pro 8300S cannot be changed in this option. It is fixed at 96 cpm.
The following list shows the copy/print speed for each setting in [Process Speed Setting] when printing is performed on A4/LT size paper:
[High] (full speed)
111 cpm (Pro 8310S)
111 ppm (Pro 8310)
136 cpm (Pro 8320S)
136 ppm (Pro 8320)
[Middle]
111 cpm (Pro 8320S)
111 ppm (Pro 8320)
[Low]
96 cpm (Pro 8310S/8320S)
96 ppm (Pro 8310/8320)
