may result in glossy streaks or poor fusing, depending on the combination of the paper type and the
image being printed.
The following procedure will reduce productivity, but will help if image quality is important.
Conditions where image quality may be improved
• The paper types to be used vary significantly in terms of set temperature.
• The paper types to be used vary significantly in terms of paper width.
• The number of pages to be printed is small, but many copies need to be printed.
Solution:
1. In the [Main Unit: Image Quality] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Operators] menu,
select 0212: [Productivity Priority Mode], and then change the setting from [Normal] to
[Productivity Priority].
• In [Normal] Productivity Priority Mode, fusing may be poor when switching from thinner paper to
thicker paper due to the fusing temperature being too low for the thicker paper. Conversely, when
switching from thicker paper to thinner paper, glossy streaks or other issues may result due to the
fusing temperature being too high for the thinner paper.
• If Productivity Priority Mode is set to [Fusing Priority], a longer waiting time will be required
because it takes longer to adjust the fusing temperature when switching between different paper
brands, thicknesses, sizes, and other properties. This will reduce productivity.
