[Special Paper Processing]

[Menu] [Adjustment/Maintenance] [Adjust Image Quality] [Special Processing]
Specify special processing for the paper in the following situations:
If you are using special paper
To print on the back of printed paper
For paper with a rough surface
If the envelope flap is stuck down
If the paper curls during printing
[Manual Back Side Print (2-Sided Only)]
[Menu] [Adjustment/Maintenance] [Adjust Image Quality] [Special Processing] [Special Paper Processing]
If you are using paper that has already been printed on, printing on the back side may appear faint. If so, specifying [On] for that paper source may improve the print results.
* When this is set to [On], if some time has passed since the front side of the paper was printed, or depending on the operating environment humidity, changes in image quality or paper jams may occur.

[Off]
[On]

[High Humidity Mode]

[Menu] [Adjustment/Maintenance] [Adjust Image Quality] [Special Processing]
Printing in a high-humidity environment may cause uneven print density. If so, specifying [On] may improve the print results.
