User Maintenance

The settings about adjustment of the machine including print position correction for each paper source and print quality improvement are listed with short descriptions. You can specify those settings when the machine is offline. Default settings are marked with a dagger ().
Asterisks (*)
Settings marked with an asterisk (*) are not displayed depending on other settings and whether the paper feeder or SD card (all of these being optional) is installed or not in the machine.

Auto Detect Ppr Type

You can optimize the automatic paper type detection function (Auto Detect Ppr Type) depending on the paper size that you use most frequently. We recommend that you normally use the factory default setting for this function.
Mode 1
Mode 2
Mode 3
This item is enabled when <Auto Detect Ppr Type> in the Select Feeder Menu is set to other than <Do Not Use>.
If you change the factory default setting to any other setting, automatic paper type detection may be incorrect.

Short Edge Fd. Prty.

Off
Mode 1
Mode 2
If you select <Mode 2>, the printing speed will be slower.
Changing the paper type or environmental conditions may solve the problem of toner coming off without necessity of changing the settings.
