Extended Print Modes CAUTION: These advanced settings should only be used to improve print quality. Changing these settings can have a significant impact on print quality and product operation. Use these options to configure the Fusing, Transfer, Duplex Transfer, and Toner print modes that correspond to the various media types found in the printer driver. You can also change product Optimize settings, such as drum and transfer belt cleaning. To reset all modes to factory default settings, select Restore modes. NOTE: You must click Apply before your changes take effect. Print mode Setting Fusing ● This print mode controls the fuser ● temperature. ● ● Transfer ● This print mode controls the ● transfer bias voltage. ● ● Paper curl. Decreases the fuser temperature to prevent or reduce page curl. Page curl can be a problem for light-weight media that is used in a high-humidity environment. Heavy coverage. Increases the fuser temperature so that the toner properly adheres to the page when a high percentage of toner is needed. Flap sealing. Decreases the fuser temperature to make sure that envelope flaps do not seal during printing. Less/More fusing. Provides two levels of decreased fuser temperatures and two levels of increased fuser temperatures. The user selects the best fuser temperature for the current print job. Dry paper. Increases the transfer bias voltage to prevent print-quality transfer problems in lowhumidity (dry) environments. Humid paper. Decreases the transfer bias voltage to prevent print-quality transfer problems in highhumidity (wet) environments. Rough paper. Increases the transfer bias voltage to prevent print-quality transfer problems when using rough papers (for example, cotton bond papers). Less/More transfer. Provides two levels of decreased transfer bias voltage and two levels of increased transfer bias voltage. The user selects the best transfer bias voltage for the current print job. Duplex Transfer This print mode controls the transfer bias voltage for duplex print jobs. This mode has the same options as the Transfer mode, but is applied when the product is printing the duplex side of a two-sided print job. Toner Less toner This print mode controls the amount of toner applied to a page. Decreases the amount of toner for each color that is applied to the page to prevent print-quality problems like toner scatter in high humidity (wet) environments. The options are 100% (No adjustment), 95% (-1), 90% (-2), and 85% (-3). 76 Chapter 9 Manage and maintain ENWW
