When different types of paper are used, the machine switches between different sets of fusing temperature conditions for each paper type. This may result in a delay while the machine switches between different paper types, resulting in decreased productivity.
Depending on the paper types used and the image to be printed, it may be possible to reduce the waiting time when switching between different paper types by simplifying the temperature configuration. Note that this may cause glossy streaks or poor fusing. You can use this procedure if your priority is productivity.
Conditions that may cause delays
The paper types used vary significantly in terms of temperature settings.
The paper types used vary significantly in terms of width.
The job involves printing many copies of a small number of pages using different paper types.
The following procedure may reduce the waiting time that may be caused by condition 1 described above:
In the [Main Unit: Image Quality] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Operators] menu, configure 0212: [Productivity Priority Mode] to [Productivity Priority].
Print the image. Does it exhibit any fusing problem?
Yes |
Go to next step. |
No |
Finished! The waiting time cannot be reduced. Change the setting back to the original value. |
Is there any problem with the delivered paper?
Yes |
Finished! The waiting time cannot be reduced. Change the setting back to the original value. |
No |
Go to next step. |
If the sheets used are thin, they may be badly curled (including paper jams) or wrinkled.
Is there any problem with image quality?
Yes |
Finished! The waiting time cannot be reduced. Change the setting back to the original value. |
No |
You can use this setting. |
If the sheets used are thin, excessive gloss, glossy streaks, or blistering may result.
