When Toner Smears Appear on the Backside of the Printouts
When you keep printing using sheets of paper such as A4 SEF or A5, which is narrower than the
maximum printable paper this machine supports, and then keep printing using sheets of paper such as
A4 LEF or A3 SEF, which is wider than those used in the previous print job, toner smears may appear on
the backside of the printouts depending on your environment or usage.
Specifying this setting prevents the fusing unit temperature from becoming too high, so that the consistent
print quality can be maintained.

40 seconds as the machine cools down before the next print job starts.
