Adjusting The Fuser - Xerox 6000V_B User Manual

Troubleshooting

Adjusting the Fuser

The fuser uses heat and pressure to bond the toner image to the paper. For optimal print quality, the
printer automatically adjusts the temperature of the fuser when you change the paper type. Because
of differences in paper construction and thickness, the adjustment made by the printer is not enough
or is too much for all paper types. If the fuser temperature is too low, the toner will not properly bond
to the paper. If the fuser is too hot, the paper can curl.
To adjust the fuser:
1. Identify the paper type loaded in the paper tray.
2. Make sure that the corresponding Paper Type is selected in the print driver Printing Preferences.
3. On your computer, click Start > All Programs > Xerox Office Printing > Phaser 6000/6010 >
Printer Setting Utility.
4. Click the Printer Maintenance tab, then select Adjust Fuser from the list.
5. Click the arrow for the drop-down list to the right of the paper type to adjust.
6. Select the offset value to adjust the fuser for the selected paper type.
• Select a more positive value to increase the fuser temperature.
• Select a more negative value to decrease the fuser temperature.
7. Click Apply New Settings to change the setting.
8. Continue printing.
