Solutions
Set [Flicker Control] to "On".
Four-line LCD panel: SP menu > [Engine Maintenance] > [Flicker Control]
Touch panel: SP menu > [Engine Service Setting] > [Flicker Control]
Side Effect
The power consumption is increased: When using thinner paper than Thick 1, the fusing
temperature is controlled to increase 5°C (*).
The face curl of paper may become worse.
*: To control the flicker, the machine slowly raises/drops the fusing temperature when turning the fusing
lamp ON/OFF. The fusing temperature rise becomes slow when printing continuously, so the fusing
efficiency of a solid image in the right or the left edges may become worse. To maintain the fusing
efficiency, the fusing temperature is controlled to increase 5°C.
When the paper in use is thicker than Thick 2, the printing speed becomes half. The fusing efficiency is
not affected even if not increasing the fusing temperature.
Stain Appears in the Right and the Left Edges
Problem
The stain may occur in the left and the right edges of the printed paper.
Cause
Contact with outside of the image area of the drum (the red circled area illustrated below) because of
paper skew.
