4061-xx0 EP SETUP EP Defaults This setting is used to restore each printer setting listed in EP SETUP to its factory default value. Sometimes this is used to help correct print quality problems. To restore EP Defaults: 1. Select EP Defaults from EP SETUP. 2. Select Restore to reset the values to the factory settings, and select Do Not Restore to exit without changing the settings. Fuser Temperature (Fuser Temp) This adjustment can be used to help solve some customer problems with paper curl on low grade papers and problems with letterheads on some types of media. The fuser temperature can be adjusted to: Normal, Lower, Lowest. The default is Normal. Fuser Page Count The fuser page count can only be viewed and cannot be changed. To view the Fuser Page Count: 1. Select Fuser Page Count from EP SETUP. 2. Press Back ( ) to return to PRINTER SETUP. Warm Up Time You can change the amount of time the printer warms up before allowing pages to print by changing this setting from 0 to 5. The factory sets the warm up at 0 or no warm up time. This time period lets the backup roll heat up and helps reduce curl in some environments. Transfer The transfer can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium. Print Contrast The print contrast setting controls the developer voltage offset. The print contrast can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium. Charge Roll The charge roll can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium. Gap Adjust The setting adjusts the minimum gap between sheets. Increasing this value may reduce curl of some printed media and eliminate some output bin stacking problems. However, increasing this value also results in slower overall performance, measured in pages per minute. The range of values is 0 to 255, and the default value is 0. 3-22 Service Manual

EP SETUP

EP Defaults

This setting is used to restore each printer setting listed in EP SETUP to its factory default value. Sometimes this

is used to help correct print quality problems.

To restore EP Defaults:

Select

EP Defaults

from EP SETUP.

Select

Restore

to reset the values to the factory settings, and select

Do Not Restore

to exit without

changing the settings.

Fuser Temperature (Fuser Temp)

This adjustment can be used to help solve some customer problems with paper curl on low grade papers and

problems with letterheads on some types of media.

The fuser temperature can be adjusted to: Normal, Lower, Lowest. The default is Normal.

Fuser Page Count

The fuser page count can only be viewed and cannot be changed.

To view the Fuser Page Count:

Select

Fuser Page Count

from EP SETUP.

Press

Back

(

)

to return to PRINTER SETUP.

Warm Up Time

You can change the amount of time the printer warms up before allowing pages to print by changing this setting

from 0 to 5. The factory sets the warm up at 0 or no warm up time. This time period lets the backup roll heat up

and helps reduce curl in some environments.

Transfer

The transfer can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium.

Print Contrast

The print contrast setting controls the developer voltage offset.

The print contrast can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium.

Charge Roll

The charge roll can be adjusted to Low, Medium, or High. The default setting is Medium.

Gap Adjust

The setting adjusts the minimum gap between sheets. Increasing this value may reduce curl of some printed

media and eliminate some output bin stacking problems. However, increasing this value also results in slower

overall performance, measured in pages per minute. The range of values is 0 to 255, and the default value is 0.
