6.7.5 POOR PRINTING (OFFSET)
Problem
Poor printing (offset) may occur.
Causes
The fusing temperature is too high for some paper types.
Solutions
When poor printing occurs with the same paper types, change the settings of the fusing
temperatures of the paper type in the following SPs.
• When occurring with Plain/Thin paper: Set the fusing temperature 5 degrees lower.
Four-line LCD panel: SP menu > [Engine Maintenance] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Plain
paper]/[Thin Paper]s
Touch panel: SP menu > [Engine Service Setting] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Plain
paper]/[Thin Paper]
• When occurring with Thick 1 paper: Set the fusing temperature 5 to 10 degrees lower and
make sure that toner has fused sufficiently on the printed paper.
Four-line LCD panel: SP menu > [Engine Maintenance] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Thick1
Paper]
Touch panel: SP menu > [Engine Service Setting] > [Fusing Unit Temperature] > [Thick1
Paper]
When offset occurs with a specific paper type, change the target paper type (without changing
the setting of the fusing temperature in SP).
Set the Paper type to one level thinner than the paper now being used (e.g., change "Normal" to
"Thin").
6.7.6 WRINKLES APPEAR WHEN USING LIMP PAPER
The wrinkles may occur in the ejected paper.
Set the [Paper Buckle Amount] in the SP menu to between [-3] and [-8] and set the appropriate
value while checking the status of the wrinkles and the skew.
Four-line LCD panel: SP menu > [Engine Maintenance] > [Paper Buckle Amount]
Touch panel: SP menu > [Engine Service Setting] > [Paper Buckle Amount]
