User mode related to fixing grade
The fixing grade is affected by some special modes in user mode which change the control temperature or productivity. The related modes are as follows.
User mode
Summary
Setting value
Temperature control/productivity
Special Mode N
(To prevent a curl and jam in high humidity)
The fixing mode is changed when either of the plain/ recycled/ color/ 3-hole paper is selected in the control panel. The productivity is reduced and fixing grade is improved.
Off
(Default)
Normal temperature control
(Plain paper mode)
Auto (Fixing grade is improved)
Fixing mode (plain paper mode and N1 mode (*1)) is changed automatically according to the environment (temperature/humidity).
Manual (Medium)
(Fixing grade is improved)
N1 mode temperature control
Manual (High)
(Fixing grade is improved)
N3 mode (*3) temperature control
Special Mode P
(To prevent a curl of thin paper/recycle paper)
The fixing mode is changed when either of the plain/ recycled/ color/ 3-hole paper is selected in the control panel. The productivity is reduced and fixing grade is improved.
Off
(Default)
Normal temperature control
(Plain paper mode)
Medium
(Fixing grade is improved)
Thin paper mode temperature control
High
(Fixing grade is improved)
S-thin paper mode temperature control
Special Mode G
(To increase the fixing grade for heavy paper)
The productivity is reduced and fixing grade is improved.
Off (Default)
Normal control
On (Fixing grade is improved)
The productivity is reduced by 4 sheets or 5 sheets.
Special Mode G
(To increase the productivity during down sequence)
The down sequence time is reduced when switching the paper size. The fixing grade is reduced and productivity is improved. (*3)
Off
(Default)
Temperature difference between the main and sub thermistors to start the paper feeding: 20 deg C
On
(Productivity is improved)
Temperature difference between the main and sub thermistors to start the paper feeding: 30 deg C
Special Mode F
(To reduce the wait time during rotation/ collation adjustment mode)
The down sequence time is reduced in the collation adjustment mode. The fixing grade is reduced and productivity is improved.
Image Priority
(Default)
Temperature difference between the main and sub thermistors to start the paper feeding: 20 deg C
Speed Priority 1
(Productivity is improved)
Temperature difference between the main and sub thermistors to start the paper feeding: 40 deg C
Speed Priority 2
(Productivity is improved more)
Temperature difference between the main and sub thermistors to start the paper feeding: 60 deg C
*1. N1 mode: "Normal temperature control" -15 deg C (when the cassette feeding, and the fixing temperature is 100 deg C or more at the start of warm-up control.)
*2. N3 mode: "Normal temperature control" -48 deg C (when the cassette feeding, and the fixing temperature is 100 deg C or more at the start of warm-up control.)
*3. The setting of rotation/collation mode is given priority to over this setting.
