The output image may show unevenness when the original (data) having a high proportion of texts and photos is printed on large-sized paper.
This unevenness shown on paper sizes larger than 8.5 11 / or A4 / can be corrected by operating compression adjusting lever of the fixing unit mounted on the main body.
If feedability decreases when printing small-sized thick paper (smaller than 200 mm / 7.87" in the feed direction) or coated thin paper (smaller than 100 g/m2 / 27 lb Bond), you can improve the feedability by increasing the compression in the fixing unit mounted on the main body.
Follow the procedure below to adjust the compression in the fixing unit.
Correctable paper sizes are A4 /, 8.5 11 / or larger. Do not operate the compression adjusting lever of the fusing device when using paper sizes smaller than these sizes.
Open the machine front door.
Turn down the lever M1 leftward, then withdraw the conveyance fixing unit.
Push up the lever M6, then open the left cover of the fixing unit leftward.
To correct the unevenness in output images on large-sized paper, slide the compression adjusting lever to the right side to align it to the right triangle position.
To improve feedability when printing small-sized thick paper or coated thin paper, slide the compression adjusting lever to the left side to align it to the left triangle position.
Return the left cover of the fixing unit to its original position. Return the fixing conveyance unit to its original position, then reset the lever M1.
Close the main body front door.
