Variable fusing temperature Figure 27. Fusing temperature control Variable fusing temperature is a feature that gives the user or service technician the ability to adjust the fusing temperature based on the media being used in the printer. The default mode is normal and should be optimal for most users. There are optional fuser-mode selections. If very heavy or rough media is being used, then high fuser mode is beneficial. If transparencies or light media are being used, then low fuser mode might be appropriate. CONFIGURE FUSER MODE is in the paper-handling menu and when set to the default of NO , paper types are not displayed in the menu.
When CONFIGURE FUSER MODE is set to YES , the different paper types are displayed in the menu (see page 59). Note High2 fusing mode only operates for A4-, letter-, and legal-size paper, and slows the throughput to 16 pages per minute. 116 Theory of operation EN
