Hi!
I don't know of any HP LaserJet units that offered this feature. As far as I
can tell, fuser temperature on these printers is set at one level and not
adjustable.
I once read what the fusing temperature for an HP laser printer was,
however, I've long since forgotten what the number was.
It`s lower than some other makes of printer, Brother and Samsung for
example. I once tried refilling an old cartridge with Xerox toner - just
to see - and it didn`t fuse at all
The roller that's responsible for paper pickup is relatively easy and
certainly cheap to replace on most machines. I got a replacement pickup
roller for an HP LaserJet III that actually ran until the built in page
counter flipped over to all zeroes and started again. I never did get to see
how long this printer would have kept on running...I needed space and
changed it out for a Samsung ML-1710. A basement flood wiped out the HP
printer and damaged the toner in the Samsung printer.
My old HP was an L6. I'de been nursing it for years but now the thin
flexible sheet which covers the fuser has wrinkled and puts creases in
the paper - it certainly doensn`t owe me anything
I have an ML-1710, not a bad printer for £60 but it wont handle
laminated stock, the fuser temp on that machine is so high that it
bubbles the paper up instantly
Would any of A) different paper B) a color laser printer or C) something
like a dye-sublimation printer work? It sounds like the paper you are
presently using is simply not compatible with your current printer.
You misunderstand. I have no control over the paper quality, the flyers
are delivered to me pre-printed, and I overprint onto them.
90% print without any problem whatsoever, it`s just the occasional batch
which are trouble. I`ve found that storing them in a really warm place
for a time before prnting helps a lot, That makes me think that it might
be moisture trapped in the paper
I`ve found that the transparency setting seems to be the coolest, I was
just wondering if there`s a way of reducing it even further in software.
Thanks for your input
