HP LaserJet M5025 Multifunction Printer series - Manual (Page 79)

Select the correct fuser mode
The device automatically adjusts the fuser mode based on the media type to which the tray is set. For
example, heavy paper, such as card stock, might need a higher fuser-mode setting in order to make the
toner adhere better to the page, but transparencies need a lower fuser-mode setting to avoid damage
to the device. The default setting generally provides the best performance for most print-media types.
The fuser mode can be changed only if the media type has been set for the tray that you are using.
See
Control print jobs . After the media type has been set for the tray, then the fuser mode for that type
can be changed on the Administration menu in the Print Quality submenu at the device control panel.
See Print Quality menu .
NOTE Using the High 1 or High 2 fuser mode setting improves the ability of the toner to adhere
to paper, but it might cause other problems, such as excessive curl. The device might print at a
slower speed when the fuser mode is set to
High 1 or High 2 . The table below describes the ideal
fuser mode setting for supported media types.
