Special Processing

If the print results are not satisfactory due to the paper type or usage environment, you may use the settings below to improve the quality of the printouts.
Special Printing Mode O
Paper jams may frequently occur when using the multi-purpose tray to copy/print on the reverse side of paper that has already been copied/printed on. <Off> should normally be specified for this setting. Only change this setting if the above symptom occurs.
Off
Mode 1
Mode 2
IMPORTANT
Do not use paper that has been exposed to high temperature or humidity for an extended period of time. Printing on such paper may result in frequent paper jams.
Special Printing Mode M
Change the <Special Printing Mode M> setting if there is a degradation in print quality or irregularity in print density. This mode enables you to select one of five levels for the machine's transfer output. Select a higher mode number if you want to print on paper to which toner does not adhere well, such as index cards. Select a lower mode number when printing on paper that has been stored at high temperature and high humidity for a long time.
Mode 1
Mode 2
Mode 3
Mode 4
Mode 5
Special Printing Mode N
Change the <Special Printing Mode N> setting if paper curls or jams when printing on paper that has absorbed moisture. <Mode 2> is more effective than <Mode 1>, but it may take the machine longer to print.
Off
Mode 1
Mode 2
IMPORTANT
Do not use paper that has been exposed to high temperature or humidity for an extended period of time. Printing on such paper may result in frequent paper jams.
NOTE
If both <Special Printing Mode P> and <Special Printing Mode N> are enabled when printing on a lightweight paper, <Special Printing Mode P> overrides <Special Printing Mode N>.
Special Printing Mode S
If you switch to a larger size of paper than previously used, it may take a long time for the machine to resume printing. In this case, set the <Special Printing Mode S> setting to <Mode 1> or <Mode 2> to reduce the waiting time for the next print. If <Mode 1> is set, waiting time is minimized.
Off
Mode 1
