Printing Improve Print Output This feature allows you to improve a print quality problem.  Reduce Paper Curl If you choose this setting, the paper curl may be reduced. If you are printing only a few pages, you do not need to choose this setting. We recommend that you change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thin setting. Note This operation will decrease the temperature of the machine's fusing process. 2 2  Improve Toner Fixing If you choose this setting, the toner fixing on paper may be improved. If this selection does not provide enough improvement, change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick setting. Note This operation will increase the temperature of the machine's fusing process. Skip Blank Page 2 If Skip Blank Page is checked, the printer driver automatically detects blank pages and excludes them from printing. Note This option does not work when you choose the following options: • Use Watermark • Header-Footer Print • N in 1 and 1 in NxN pages in Multiple Page • Duplex (Manual), Booklet, Booklet (Manual) and Duplex with Binding Offset in Duplex / Booklet 27
