Service menus. Diagnostics menu. EP SETUP

EP Defaults

This setting restores each printer setting listed in EP SETUP to its factory default value. Sometimes this is used to help correct print quality problems.
To restore the EP defaults:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > EP Defaults
  2. Select Restore to restore the default values, or press X to exit without changing the settings.

Fuser Temperature (Fuser Temp)

This setting adjusts the fuser temperature to solve problems with paper curl on low.grade paper and/or melting of letterheads on some papers.
To adjust this setting:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > Fuser Temp
  2. Press OK or touch ✔ to save any changes.

Fuser Page Count

The value of this setting indicates the total number of pages that have been printed by the fuser in the space below the header.
To view the fuser page count:
From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to EP Setup > Fuser Page Count.
Note: The value of the setting cannot be changed manually.

Warm Up Time

This setting controls the amount of time the printer warms up before allowing pages to print. The range of values is between 0 and 5, where 0 is no warm‑up time and 5 is up to 90 seconds of warm‑up time.
To change this setting:
From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to EP Setup > Warm Up Time.

Transfer

This setting controls the transfer roll algorithm.
To adjust this setting:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > Transfer
  2. Press Back.

Print Contrast

This setting controls the developer voltage offset.
To adjust this setting:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > Print Contrast
  2. Press OK or touch ✔ to save any changes.

Charge Roll

This setting controls the charge roll voltage.
To adjust this setting:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > Charge Roll
  2. Press OK or touch ✔ to save any changes.

Gap Adjust

The setting adjusts the minimum gap between sheets. Increasing this value may reduce curl of some printed media and eliminate some output bin stacking problems. However, increasing this value also results in slower overall performance, measured in pages per minute.

The range of values is 0 to 255, and the default value is 0.
To adjust this setting:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > Gap Adjust
  2. Press OK or touch ✔ to save any changes.

Automatic Darkness Adjust (Auto Dark Adj)

When activated, this setting attempts to optimize the amount of toner used when printing with a specific operating point.
Each time this setting executes, the printer performs the following:

  • Calibrates its toner density sensor
  • Measures the reflectivity of its bare drum
  • Prints patches on the drum and measures the reflectivity of the drum through the patches
  • Cleans the transfer roll
  • Calculates reflectivity ratios and operating points to attain the darkness target of each operating point
  • Modifies the EP mechanism as necessary to adjust toner darkness

The cartridge smart chip controls how often this process executes.

Note: No messages are displayed on the control panel to give any indication that this test is running. The device stores the results of its most recent process in the Auto dark Adj field on the Menu settings page report.

When deactivated, the printer disables and never executes this process.
To adjust this setting:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: EP Setup > Auto Dark Adj
  2. Choose Enable or Disable.
  3. Press OK to save any changes.
