TASKalfa 4551ci media type settings quality difference???

[cmpelser]

hi,

I'm starting to think that maybe something went corrupt within the prescribe settings... is that even possible?
I don't know much about prescribe...

where is this located? Pretoria? have you tried high altitude setting?

[cmpelser]

Hi, no... Not altitude settings...
Like I said before, absolutely perfect prints on thick paper setting only. All other media type settings regarding paper weights lighter than "heavy 1" ie. Normal 1 2 3 etc. I'm getting obvious colour background. It's an even tone of magenta cyan and yellow... (full page, all the way to the edges)

Thick paper setting does change bias and speed. With all the parts you mentioned having been replaced theres two things left, paper stock or its environmental.

The only environmental effect i have ever heard of is altitude, AC calibration has altitude modes.



fyi, need a better sample, cant see through the blurr.

I've played around with the altitude settings, it's not making much difference. Do you know what biases get changed with thick paper settings?

was this problem there since new? is the machine used? Was this problem just starting to show? You sure its not paper?

are you certified dealer? maybe give Kyocera a call.

need a manual to find service mode settings... i dont currently
