This model can
have some trouble when printing full bleeds. The paper wraps around the fuser
as it tries to exit the printer. Print jobs with text and spot color, using the
same paper have no trouble at all. Replacing the fuser has no effect. The
printer still jams or wraps around the fuser on full bleeds only. There are
some settings that can be changed to account for the different media that the printer
supports. When a different media supply is selected the printer will
automatically make the required adjustment for the different print media being
used. The transfer and charge voltages
are increased as well as the fuser temperature. For thicker stock the printer
will actually slow down to allow more time to transfer the toner and then to
fuse it too the paper. This slower mode can help with the full bleed jamming
problem. Changing the settings in the paper handling menu will also affect your
print quality so a little testing might be required to find the right setting.
A thicker paper can help as well. This printer needs the rigidity of the paper
to keep it going straight through and out of the fuser. When there is a full
bleed job on the thinner paper supply it will have the tendency to shrink or
curl as it comes through the fuser. Using a thicker paper supply along with
adjusting the printing mode in the paper handling menu will help to reduce the
fuser wrapping jam on full bleeds.
