FUSER MODES

List of paper
types

Configure the fuser mode associated with each paper type.

The fuser mode can only be changed from this menu option in the
control panel.

AUTO

: Utilizes the optimum mode for that media type.

NORMAL

: Normal temperature, prints at 50 pages per minute (ppm)

(40 ppm for the HP LaserJet 9040mfp).

LOW

: Low temperature, prints at 50 ppm (40 ppm for the

HP LaserJet 9040mfp).

HIGH1

: Raises the temperature, prints at 50 ppm (40 ppm for the

HP LaserJet 9040mfp).

HIGH2

: Raises the temperature, prints at 32 ppm.

SPECIAL

: Mode to print at normal speeds with a 40-second delay

added to the beginning of the next job. After each 400 pages are
printed, the first page of that job is printed at a slower speed in
order to clean the fuser. No defects should be noticeable on the
printed page. This is not a preferred setting.

The default value for each paper type is

AUTO

.

For a complete list of supported paper types, see

specifications

CAUTION

If you change the fuser mode to

HIGH1

or

HIGH2

, be sure to change

it back to the default when you are done printing. Setting a paper
type to

HIGH1

or

HIGH2

might shorten the life of some

consumables, such as the fuser, and might cause other failures or
jams.
