Improving Throughput with Coated Paper

This procedure describes measures for printing on coated paper equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or higher. When printing on coated paper with a thickness equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or higher, the machine's copy/print speed must be reduced to 80% of full speed (for A4 paper) so that the degree of toner fixation can be enhanced. However, depending on the type of paper in use and printed image, you can have the machine print at full copy/print speed.

The requirements for improving throughput when using coated paper with a thickness equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or higher are described below.

1. In Advanced Settings for the custom paper in use, increase the value in Process Speed Setting by one step. (SP 1-852-001 to 100: Process Speed Custom Paper 001 to 100)
   
   • If it is presently set to Low, change it to Middle.
   • If it is presently set to Middle, change it to High.
2. Set “Fusing Heat Roller Temperature Adj” to 185°C. (SP1-850-001 to 100: Htg Roller Temp Setting Custom Paper 001 to 100).

3. Print the image. Does it exhibit any fusing problem?

   Yes	You cannot improve throughput under the present condition. Restore the previous setting.
   No	You can operate the machine using this setting.

The following table shows the copy/print speed available for each item in “Process Speed Setting”.
