Heavy Media Fuser Mode Explanation
The LaserJet 5Si HM (Heavy Media) provides users the capability to
enhance toner adhesion for heavier media. The fuser mode choices can be
made at the printer’s control panel or with PJL commands. Press MENU until
you see PRINT QUALITY MENU. Press ITEM until you see Fuser=STD PAPER.
Make your choice by pressing + and then SELECT to save the selection.
At the control panel, the menu choices are as follows:
STDPAPER
HEAVYPAPER1
HEAVYPAPER2
CARDSTOCK1
CARDSTOCK2
CARDSTOCK3
The explanation below is to help determine the best fuser mode for specific
media types. Table 3-4 is provided as a quick reference tool and should be
used as a guideline.
STDPAPER: The best mode for typical copy bond type paper,
transparencies, labels or envelopes. A selection other than STDPAPER
should not be necessary for this type of media. The best media weight for
this setting is 20-28 lb bond. If better toner adhesion is desired, choose
HEAVYPAPER1.
HEAVYPAPER1: This mode may be most suitable for 28-36 lb bond media
or heavier label stock. If better toner adhesion is desired, try HEAVY
PAPER2 and evaluate the fusing performance.
HEAVYPAPER2: This setting is primarily an optional setting for media in
the HEAVYPAPER1 range, 36-42 lb Bond.
CARDSTOCK1: Hewlett-Packard recommends this mode as a starting point
for all cardstock media, 90 lb Index/43 lb Bond. Do not use this mode for
standard or light media. If better toner adhesion is desired, try
CARDSTOCK2.
CARDSTOCK2: This mode may provide increased toner adhesion over
CARDSTOCK1. CARDSTOCK2 is intended for use with cardstock media,
90 lb Index/43 lb Bond. Do not use this mode for standard or light media.
This mode may cause excessive jams or media deformation on standard and
light media. If better toner adhesion is desired, try CARDSTOCK3.
CARDSTOCK3: This mode should only be used if toner is not adhering
when using CARDSTOCK1 or CARDSTOCK2.
