Speeding Up a Print Job by Using Thin Paper First
The temperature of the fixing unit in the machine is adjusted as necessary according to the type of paper and the
basis weight� Generally, the temperature of the fixing unit is set to lower when paper with a small basis weight, such
as thin paper, is loaded� It takes more time for the temperature of the fixing unit to fall than to increase� You can use
the characteristics of the fixing unit to increase productivity� For example you can reduce the time required for the
fixing unit temperature to adjust by printing on the thin paper first if you need to print on thin paper and heavy paper
consecutively�
Order of Paper Used Fixing Unit Temperature Waiting Time
Thin paper

Thin paper
Heavy paper
→
Heavy paper
No temperature adjustment None
Thin paper
→
Heavy paper Increase the temperature Short
Heavy paper
→
Thin paper Lower the temperature Long
NOTE
• The waiting time may be different from those in the table because the time required for the fixing unit to adjust the
temperature changes depending on the type of paper and the basis weight as well as the room temperature�
• You can increase print speed by controlling the fixing unit for temperature adjustment� For more information, see
"Increasing Print Speed by Giving Priority to Either Thin Paper or Heavy Paper�" (p� 125)
