Improving Throughput
Reducing Wait Time before Printing
After receiving a print job, the machine usually stops to let the fusing temperature reach an appropriate
level for printing.
The waiting time for the fusing unit to cool down may be quite long, especially before printing on thin
paper.
By decreasing or increasing the standby fusing temperature for the type of paper in use, you can
reduce the waiting time.
1. On the Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators menu, select Machine: Image Quality > Adjust
Fusing Temperature on Standby >
 Decrease temperature by 10°C for thin paper
 Increase temperature by 10°C for thick paper.
2. Decrease by 10°C the values for Temperature on Standby Mode, Temperature on Low Power
Mode, and Temperature Before Performing a Process.
ï‚· SP 1-107-001: Standby Target Temp. Setting Standby: Center
ï‚· SP 1-107-005: Standby Target Temp. Setting Low Power: Center
ï‚· SP 1-107-007: Standby Target Temp. Setting Print Ready: Center
ï‚· When printing on paper other than thin paper, we recommend leaving the above settings
unchanged
Improving Throughput with Coated Paper
This procedure describes measures for printing on coated paper equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or
higher.
When printing on coated paper with a thickness equivalent to Paper Weight 7 or higher, the machine's
copy/print speed must be reduced to 80% of full speed (for A4 paper) to ensure toner fixation.
However, depending on the type of paper in use and printed image, you can have the machine print at
full copy/print speed.
The requirements for improving throughput when using coated paper with a thickness equivalent to
Paper Weight 7 or higher are described below.
1. In Advanced Settings for the custom paper in use, increase the value in Process Speed Setting by
one step.
ï‚· If it is presently set to Low, change it to Middle.
ï‚· If it is presently set to Middle, change it to High.
