Adjusting Fixing Unit Temperature
Adjusting suitable temperature for the fixing unit is required depending on the paper and it takes some time. By setting this function beforehand, you may be able to prevent productivity from being affected.
IMPORTANT
This function is displayed only if the settings are made available by your local authorized Canon dealer. Even if this function is displayed, do not allow anyone to change the settings except for the system manager. For more information on changing the settings, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
NOTE
Adjusting this function may cause paper jams or poor image quality depending on the paper type.
Adjusting this function may affect the paper curl. Readjust [<Curl Correction Level>] if necessary. (See "Curl Correction for Each Paper Deck.")
