02: Machine: Image Quality

Increase the amount of lubricant applied to the photoconductor.

If you continuously print images that consume a lot of toner, white spots may appear because of a lack of lubricant. If this happens, you can prevent the spots by selecting [On].

In Special Mode, the replacement cycle of the cleaning unit for the PCU is shorter because of the increased amount of lubricant that is applied.

Remove vertical and horizontal lines from the printouts.

Vertical or horizontal lines may appear when printing on paper that is larger than the paper used immediately before it.

In such case, press [OK] to cause a roller to press on the fusing belt and prevent vertical and horizontal lines. Select [For Belt Scratches] if vertical or horizontal lines appear on the edges of the paper. Select [For Uneven Gloss (Short Time)] if there are patches of uneven glossiness.

Increase fusing performance.

Fusing quality may vary depending on the ambient temperature, paper being used, and configuration of options. If this happens, select [Thick Paper Priority] to increase the fusing quality by decreasing the printing speed.

Specify whether or not to automatically execute [For Uneven Gloss (Short Time)] for smooth fusing belt.
