<Special Processing>

If the print results on special types of paper are not satisfactory, the following settings may improve the quality of the printouts.
<Special Paper Processing>
When printing on the back side of printed paper, rough paper, or envelopes, the print results may be improved by adjusting the following settings.
<Manual Back Side Print (2-Sided Only)>
If printouts on the back side of printed paper are too light, select <On>. You can specify this setting separately for each paper source.
<Multi-Purpose Tray>
<Off>
<On>
 
<Drawer 1>
<Off>
<On>
 
<Drawer 2>*
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, image quality may be affected when a certain length of time elapses after printing on the front side or depending on the ambient humidity.
<Rough Surface Envelope Mode>
When printing on envelopes with rough surfaces, select <On>.
<Off>
<On>
If you set <Rough Surface Envelope Mode> to <On>
The <Paper Curl Correction> setting will be disabled.
The printing speed may be slower.
<Paper Wrinkle Correction>
Printouts may wrinkle depending on the paper to use. In this case, setting this item to <On> may solve the problem.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the print may be faded or the printing speed may be slower.
<Paper Curl Correction>
If the printed paper curls, set this item to <On>.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the printing speed may be slower.
<Rdc. Tnr Flaking from Heavy Sml. Ppr>
When a halftone image such as a photograph is printed on a small size piece of heavy paper, streaks may appear on the back side of the paper. In this case, setting this item to <On> may solve the problem.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the printing speed may be slower.
<Reduce Ppr. Sticking at Output>
When performing 2-sided printing, paper may stick together at the output. Setting to <On> will slow down the printing speed to reduce sticking.
<Off>
<On>
<High Humidity Mode>
Print density may be uneven when the machine is used in an environment with high humidity. In this case, setting this item to <On> may solve the problem.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the print density may vary depending on the ambient humidity.
<Low Humidity Mode>
When using the machine in an environment with low humidity, printed images and text may be blurry. In this case, set this item. The improvement effect is stronger with <Mode 2> than with <Mode 1>. First try the adjustment with <Mode 1>.
<Off>
<Mode 1>
<Mode 2>
If <Low Humidity Mode> is specified, print density may be lower or uneven when the machine is used in an environment with high humidity.
<Reduce Ghosting 1>
When you print on large size paper after printing on small size paper, afterimages may appear in blank areas. In this case, setting this item to <On> may solve the problem.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the printing speed may be slower.
<Rdc Condens. (Consec 2-Sd Prt)>/<Reduce Condensation (Consec. 2-Sd Print)>
If the printed images are faint due to moisture condensation when performing 2-sided printing, setting to other than <Off> may solve the problem.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the printing speed will be slower.
<Rdc. Wrinkles(Humidity)/Streaks>
If printouts have creases when damp paper is used or if streaks appear in the leading edge of paper when images with halftones such as photos are printed, setting to <On> may solve the problem.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the printing speed will be slower.
<Quiet Mode>
When printing sounds bother you, set this item to <On>.
<Off>
<On>
If you set to <On>, the printing speed will be slower.
<Correct Blurry Image>
Streaks may appear on printouts depending on the paper type or the environmental conditions. In this case, setting this item may solve the problem. The improvement effect is weakest with <Mode 1> and strongest with <Mode 4>.
<Off>
<Mode 1>
<Mode 2>
<Mode 3>
<Mode 4>
Setting a stronger improvement effect may result in lighter print density or slower printing speed. It may also result in less sharp edges and rougher details.
