How to Improve the Output Efficiency When Printing Each of Thin Paper and Heavy Paper

The fixing unit uses different temperature settings for thin paper and heavy paper. It takes more time for the temperature of the fixing unit to fall than to increase.
You can reduce the time required for the fixing unit temperature to adjust by printing on thin paper first in lower temperatures and then printing on heavy paper in higher temperatures, to increase the overall print speed. Check the solutions below.

Order of Paper Used	Fixing Unit Temperature	Waiting Time
Thin paper → Thin paper Heavy paper → Heavy paper	No temperature adjustment	None
Thin paper → Heavy paper	Increase the temperature	Short
Heavy paper → Thin paper	Lower the temperature	Long

NOTE

The waiting time may be different from those in the table because the time required for the fixing unit to adjust the temperature changes depending on the type of paper and the basis weight as well as the room temperature.
