Paper Type Management Settings

You can register and edit detailed information of frequently used paper types as the <Custom Type>.
To register a new paper type, first duplicate the paper type that resembles the new type in order to copy all of the internal operational parameters. This procedure copies the suitable settings to the new paper type from the registered custom paper easily.
You can also improve printing quality and paper feeding trouble by editing the custom paper, depending on the characteristics.
When you register the custom paper type, you cannot specify the paper source. For more information on registering the paper source, see Specifying Paper Size and Type in the Paper Drawer.

Category

Finish

When Custom Type you want to register is Uncoated, Recycled, Transparency, Vellum, Label, Cotton, 1-Sided Coated, 2-Sided Coated, or Post Card, you need to change the Finish setting.
If you select a Finish setting not matching the loaded paper, it may cause a paper jam or corrupt image.

Adjust Creep Correction

If you want to change the creep (displacement) correction for each page in a booklet, adjust the creep correction width for the registered custom paper type.
For information on creep (displacement), see Making Booklets (Booklet Copying).
The value you set here becomes the default correction width when the selected paper type is used for saddle stitching with automatic "Adjust Creep (Displacement) Correction".

Adjust Gloss

This mode enables you to adjust the glossiness of the custom paper type. You can change the glossiness of a printed image when using plain or coated paper by adjusting the temperature of the fixing unit. Press <+> to increase the gloss, and press <-> to decrease the gloss.
Depending on the paper, if the value in this mode is increased, a paper jam may occur. If the value is decreased, the quality of the image could be adversely affected or toner may not be applied properly to the image.
Make sure to change the value in small increments as changing the value abruptly may cause some troubles.

Adjust Secondary Transfer Voltage

You can adjust the Secondary Transfer Voltage (the voltage that transfers toner to the paper) when image blurring occurs. Adjusting the Secondary Transfer Voltage
