Printing on paper with a special finish
Some paper has a special finish, such as laid paper, bond paper, and cockled paper. These
types of paper can cause issues in regard to toner adhesion and print quality. Follow these
guidelines when printing on paper with a special finish.
At the printer control panel, open the Configure Device menu. On the Print Quality submenu,
select
FUSER MODES , and then select the paper type you are using (such as BOND ). Set the
fuser mode to HIGH 1 or HIGH 2 . HIGH 2 provides better toner adhesion and optimal print
quality for paper with a highly textured finish. Open the Paper Handling menu and set TRAY
TYPE to HIGH 1 or HIGH 2 to enable the fuser mode.
Note The printer might print at a slower speed when set at HIGH 1 or HIGH 2 .
Use the HIGH 1 and HIGH 2 settings only if you are experiencing toner-adhesion problems. The
HIGH 1 and HIGH 2 settings might increase curl and jam problems.
Some makers of these types of paper are now coating one side of the paper to enhance
toner adhesion and print quality. To take advantage of this feature, make sure to load the
paper correctly. The side on which you can read the watermark correctly is the front side, or
the side to be printed.
For tray 1, load paper with the front side facing up, and the top, short edge toward the
printer.
For tray 2, optional 500-sheet trays, and the optional 1,500-sheet tray, load paper with the
front side facing down, and the top, short edge toward you.
