Poor Printing (Offset)

Problem

Poor printing (offset) may occur.

Causes

The fusing temperature is too high for some paper types.

Solutions

When poor printing occurs with the same paper types, change the settings of the fusing temperatures of the paper type in the following SPs.

• When occurring with Plain/Thin paper: Set the fusing temperature 5 degrees lower.

Four-line LCD panel: SP menu > [Engine Maintenance] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Plain paper]/[Thin Paper]s
Touch panel: SP menu > [Engine Service Setting] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Plain paper]/[Thin Paper]

• When occurring with Thick 1 paper: Set the fusing temperature 5 to 10 degrees lower and make sure that toner has fused sufficiently on the printed paper.

Four-line LCD panel: SP menu > [Engine Maintenance] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Thick1 Paper]
Touch panel: SP menu > [Engine Service Setting] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Thick1 Paper]

When offset occurs with a specific paper type, change the target paper type (without changing the setting of the fusing temperature in SP).

Set the Paper type to one level thinner than the paper now being used (e.g., change "Normal" to "Thin").
