3.6.1 Insufficient Toner Fusing
This section explains how to resolve the problem of insufficient toner fusing on
printed copies.
Note:
• To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom
paper. For details about registering custom papers, see "Registering a Custom
Paper", Paper Settings Reference.
• Changing the fusing temperature or changing the process speed may produce
one or more of the following side effects:
• Paper curling
• Paper misfeeding
• Blisters
• Glossy lines
• Change of gloss
• If one or more of the above side effects occurs, adjust the fusing temperature
and process speed by decreasing the fusing temperature and increasing the
process speed.
Solution:
Carry out the following sequence of procedures. Terminate the sequence as soon
as the problem is resolved.
Procedure 1: Changing the fusing temperature
1.
Increase the temperature by 5 °C in [44: Fusing Heat Roller Temperature Adj]
in [Advanced Settings].
2.
Print the image and check toner fusion. Is the problem resolved?
Yes
Finished!
No
Increase the temperature an additional 5 °C.
3.
Repeat Step 2.
If the problem persists even if you increase the temperature to 180 °C,
perform Procedure 2, "Image processing 1".
Procedure 2: Image processing 1
Do the following on the Command WorkStation (CWS).
