.

PAPER CURL: The REDUCED setting decreases full speed to 10 PPM (instead of 40 PPM) and
3/4 speed to 7.5 PPM (instead of 30 PPM) in order to reduce paper curl problems.

PRE-ROTATION: Set this feature to ON if horizontal streaks appear on pages. Using this feature
increases the warmup time for the product.

FUSER TEMP: If you are seeing a faint image of the page repeated at the bottom of the page or
on the following page, you should first make sure the Paper Type and Print Mode settings are
correct for the type of paper you are using. If you continue to see ghost images on your print jobs,
set the Fuser Temp feature to one of the Alternate settings . Try the ALTERNATE 1 setting first
and see if it solves the problem. If you continue to see the problem, try ALTERNATE 2 and then
ALTERNATE 3. With the ALTERNATE 2 and ALTERNATE 3 settings you may see an extra delay
between jobs.

TRAY 1: Set the mode to ALTERNATE if you are seeing marks on the back side of the paper when
printing from Tray 1. This increases the frequency of the cleaning cycle.

GLOSS MODE: Set this feature to HIGH for glossy print jobs, such as photos, if you notice the
gloss finish decreasing after the first page is printed.

LIGHT MEDIA: Set this feature to ON if you are frequently seeing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap
Jam messages, especially when printing on light-weight paper or on jobs with heavy toner
coverage.

MEDIA TEMP: Set this feature to REDUCED if you are having problems with paper sticking
together in the output bin.

ENVIRONMENT: Optimizes performance in extreme low temperature environments. Set this
feature to ON if the product is operating in a low-temperature environment and you are having
problems with print quality such as blisters in the printed image.

LINE VOLTAGE: Optimizes performance in low-voltage conditions. Set this feature to ON if the
product is operating in a low-voltage environment and you are having problems with print quality
such as blisters in the printed image.

CLEANING FREQUENCY: If you are seeing defects in the printed output that repeat at 38 mm
(1.5 inch) intervals, set this feature to ALTERNATE. This feature increases the frequency at which
the C roller is cleaned. Setting this feature to ALTERNATE might also reduce printing speed and
increase the frequency of consumable replacement.

D-BLADE BIAS: If you are seeing short white vertical lines in the printed output, set this feature
to ALTERNATE. The ALTERNATE setting might also cause dark spots in the printed output, so
be sure to test this setting on a few print jobs.

WASTE BIN: Set this feature to ALTERNATE if you are seeing lengthwise toner streaks in your
printed output, especially in jobs with low toner coverage.

BACKGROUND: Turn this feature on if pages are printing with a shaded background. Using this
feature can reduce gloss levels.

HEAVY MODE: Sets speed to 30 PPM or 24 PPM in order to better feed heavy paper.
