This menu provides adjustment to suit a wide range of print
media.

SPEED
AUTO
NORMAL SPEED
COLOR SPEED
If the first page of a print job is black and
white, the printer runs at 32ppm (pages
per minute). When a colour page is
detected the printer slows down to 26ppm
for the rest of that job.
This setting operates in the same way as
AUTO SPEED, except that the printer runs
at 32ppm until a colour page is detected.
To achieve this speed the printer requires
an additional time to warm up and cool
down when switching to 26ppm for colour
pages. This setting is therefore most
appropriate when the majority of print
jobs are entirely black and white.
The printer runs at 26ppm for all print
jobs. This setting is most appropriate
when the majority of print jobs are in
colour.

USER TYPE 1

USER TYPE 4
USER TYPE 5
Selects the type of media loaded in this
tray. This will help the printer to adjust
its internal operating parameters, such
as engine speed and fusing temperature,
to better accommodate the media to be
fed. For example, letterhead may benefit
from a slightly lower fusing temperature
to ensure that its ink does not offset.
The USER TYPES 1 to 5 are displayed
only when they have been registered
using a computer.
If you set a string of characters using a
computer, the string of characters will be
displayed.
