Setting Values 35: [Startng Time of Ptng Presr before Fusing] Adjust the timing for the fusing pressure roller to come into contact with the fusing belt before the printing operation (paper feeding) starts. Once a job starts, the fusing pressure roller comes into contact with the fusing belt after the time specified in this setting has elapsed. If this is set to 30 seconds, the fusing pressure roller comes into contact with the fusing belt 30 seconds after a job starts, and printing starts once warm-up is complete (when the temperature at which paper feeding is allowed is reached). Use this to adjust the fusibility and reduce image degradation (such as uneven luster and blisters). If you reduce the starting time, the temperature drop the machine is able to handle can be increased, but uneven luster may occur. If you increase the starting time, the temperature drop the machine is able to handle is reduced, but uneven luster is reduced. Press [+] or [−] to adjust the start timing.

Press [+] to increase the temperature and [−] to reduce it. • Decreasing the temperature too much may cause the toner to not properly fuse to the paper (cold offset). • Increasing the temperature too much may distort the paper and cause glossy lines, paper jams, and insufficient toner fusing (hot offset). • Depending on the type of paper, you can increase the toner gloss by increasing the temperature by 5 to 10°C over the initial factory setting.
