Fuser Temperature And Warm-Up Time - Lexmark Optra E 4026-0 Series Reference Handbook

Fuser Temperature And Warm-Up Time

These settings allow adjustment of the fuser to correct problems with
paper curl or melting letterheads.
Paper curl in which the top and bottom of the page curl toward the
printed side (hot paper curl) can be corrected by reducing the fuser
temperature. Reduce the setting from Normal to No Boost; if necessary,
reduce the setting further to Low Temperature. Verify that the toner is
being adequately fused to the paper at the new temperature setting.
Paper curl in which the edges of the paper curl away from the printed
side (cold paper curl) can corrected by increasing the fuser warm-up
time. Use the lowest setting that corrects the problem. Setting "0" is the
factory default and is the shortest warm-up time. Setting "5" increases
warm-up time by 90 seconds; lower settings increase the time
proportionately less. Settings other than "0" may reduce throughput.
Use the [+] or [-] key to change the number and then select [SAVE].
Melting letterheads may be prevented by reducing the fuser
temperature as described above for paper curl.
