When changing from thin paper [A] to thick paper [B], insufficient temperature could cause poor fusing
because the fusing temperature [C] was not high enough for thick paper. Also, when changing from
thick paper [B] to thin paper [A], high temperature could cause glossy lines to occur because the fusing
temperature [D] was too high for thin paper.

When changing from thin paper [A] to thick paper [B], this generates wait time [C]. When changing from
thick paper [B] to thin paper [A], this also generates wait time [C]
 With “Fusing Priority” selected, when the paper brand and area are changed, there is a waiting
time in order to adjust the fusing temperature. Also, in some cases, the warm-up time to
standby temperature for printing to begin may also have the same wait time lag. Reducing the
wait time during troubleshooting execution when using mixed paper sizes may have no effect.
Worn Paper Edge on the Fusing Belt (Fusing Unit Swapping)
Cause:
After printing a large quantity of large size sheets [A] with rough edges, glossy vertical stripes [A]
appear when printing solid fill on paper that is narrower [B] than the previous job.
