Adjustment for Paper Thickness
When you are using thin paper, thick paper, or thick envelopes, you
may find improper adhering of toner to the paper, wavy paper, or
thin printing. This printer can improve the above print quality
within the paper specifications by means of the thick control menu
which has two modes, normal and extension. The printer is set in
normal mode as a factory default. To change the mode and select an
option, see Selecting the Thick Control Menu described earlier in
this chapter.
In normal mode, you can use the thick paper mode, which allows
you to print on thick paper, from 90 g/m
more). The setting is common to all paper sources. The thick paper
mode is automatically used regardless of its option setting when you
select an envelope for MFF paper size.
In extension mode, you can use media modes on tray 1 and trays 2
to 4 (if installed), and MFF, which allow you to print on thin paper,
thick paper, or thick envelopes. A different setting can be specified
every paper source. The media mode = 1 (thick paper) is
automatically used when you select an envelope for MFF paper size
so long as the media mode = 0 ( ordinary paper) is being selected.
Caution:
Turn the mode off or reset it to 0 when you print on regular paper.
Printing regular paper with this mode on or set to a value other than
0 may cause a decrease in print quality or reliability of the printer.
Use the following guidelines when printing on thick paper or thick
envelopes:
Basically use the thick paper mode (option: on or off) in the normal
mode:
Off: Ordinary paper
On:
Thick paper, 90 g/m
Rough surface of paper,
Toner easily scraped off by fingers, or
Printing or back side stained with toner
