Paper source other than a paper drawer of the main unit: the side with a logo facing up

Humid Environment Mode

If the image or text on the output becomes light or blurred because of the humidity of the surrounding area, set <Humid Environment Mode>.
If you are using the machine in a high humidity environment, the toner density on the output may become lighter or an irregularity may occur. These problems may be solved if you set <Humid Environment Mode> to <High Humidity>.
If you are using the machine in a low humidity environment, the images and text may become blurred. This problem may be solved if you set <Humid Environment Mode> to <Low Humidity>.

Adjust Paper Separation

This setting is for when the registered custom paper type is <Thin (60 g/m2)>. If a paper jam occurs when performing two-sided printing, select <Level 1> or <Level 2>. If <Level 1> is selected, the correction effect becomes weaker, and it becomes stronger if <Level 2> is selected.
The roughness of the printed image may stand out If <Mode 2> is selected.

Correct Fill Area Void

If you print using the registered custom paper type and the shaded areas of images/texts has white patches, it may be corrected by turning this setting to <On>.

Adjust Fixing Temperature

When image problems occur because the temperature for fixing the toner to the paper is too high, setting <Low 1> or <Low 2> for registered custom paper may improve the output.
If image problems become worse when <Low 1> or <Low 2> is set for registered custom paper, the fixing temperature may be too low. Afterimages appear on areas that are not printed.
