Table 22. Paper handling menu (continued) Item/Default value Values Explanation CONFIGURE FUSER MODE MENU=NO NO YES Configure the fuser mode associated with each print media type. (This is only necessary if you experience loose toner problems, excessive curl, or other print-quality issues when printing on certain media types.) NO : The fuser-mode menu items are not available. YES : Additional items appear (see below). Note To see the default fuser mode for each media type, select YES , scroll back to the information menu, and print a menu map. [TYPE]=NORMAL NORMAL HIGH1 LOW HIGH2 This item appears only when CONFIGURE FUSER MODE MENU=YES .
Most paper types are set to NORMAL fuser mode by default. The exceptions are as follows: ROUGH=HIGH1 TRANSPARENCY=LOW NORMAL fuser mode provides a fuser temperature for optimum results on most typical papers. HIGH1 fuser mode provides a higher fuser temperature. HIGH1 should be used with rough- textured or heavy paper if you have trouble with toner adhering to the page. LOW fuser mode provides a lower temperature, which can help reduce curl on lightweight paper and transparencies. However, toner might not adhere as well to the page. HIGH2 fuser mode uses the same higher temperature as HIGH1 , but it also slows printer throughput, which creates the best fusing for very rough paper.
Note HIGH2 fuser mode only operates for A4-, letter-, and legal-size paper, and slows the throughput to 16 pages per minute. EN Chapter 3 Printer operation 59
