Service Manual
If the last transparency jams as you try to feed it
from tray 1, place the cardboard sheet (with the
cutout) included in the transparencies box in the
bottom of tray 1 before loading transparencies.
If you set Print Quality to 1200 Image Quality, it
may take longer to print some complex jobs or jobs
formatted for larger paper. Select another Print
Quality setting if you need the job to print faster.
If you set the Paper Type to Transparency or Card
Stock, the printer increases the fuser temperature
and slows printing to 3 ppm to improve the print
quality. After printing on these media, the printer
requires additional time to cool the fuser after you
select another Paper Type setting (such as Plain
Paper or Letterhead).
If Printer Usage is set to Maximum Yield, the
printer must adjust the photoconductors as it
prepares to print a color page after printing a mono
page. The printer performs this same calibration
each time you turn the printer on and each time
you open and close the top cover. Depending on
the types of jobs you print, these adjustments may
significantly slow print time.
Setting Timing Adjustment to Gear Only may
decrease the time necessary to complete the
calibration, but you may notice inconsistent color
registration on your printed pages.
Make sure the printer's top cover is completely
open. Opening the top cover all the way releases
the fuser roll so you can easily remove jammed
paper.
Go to the "Paper Carrying Service Check" on
page 2-32.
To clear the paper jam messages, you must
remove all paper from the printer's paper path.
Check both inside the printer as well as the paper
source you were using. Open and close the top
cover and press
Go
