    Canon iRC2620N and heat transfer paper

    I have an iRC2620N and it seems that it has problem with heat transfer paper. The temperature of the heat press roller makes the coating of the paper to melt on it, literally.
    Also, there are problems with other kind of printing media, such as self-adhesive transparencies (I have tried glossy and matte type, they both jam (~) in the rollers area and won't come out).
    The funny thing is that another machine I tried, an     OKI C5100n printer, has no problem with the above media (and it cost me about 1/10th the price of the Canon copier).
    I would be grateful if somebody knew the codes to enter the system and change the temperature (I only guess that this would do)...
    Any suggestions?

          So do NOT use it.
          If a tech has to clean up your mess it's a full charge job!!!!

                  Each printer has it's own optimal temperature window to allow the toner to be fused to the media yet not melting the media. Often this temperature is a factor of the speed of the machine, i.e. slower printers can operate at lower fuser temperatures than faster ones.

                  The short answer here is: It's tricky business fiddling with fuser temperatures. You can easily adjust the temperature so that it will function for your special media, yet nothing else.

                  The size or cost of the printer involved has absolutely nothing to do with it's fixing temperature. For example, you can buy a $50 inkjet printer that will print on all these different medias. So what? Either the printer is designed to do it, or it isn't.

                  My recommendation is don't do it. You will only make yourself unhappy, and introduce problems into a machine that is doing exactly what it is designed to do: 18-28 lb plain paper. =^..^=
                  If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                  1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                  2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                  3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                  4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                  5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                      Thanks

                      "Kwazimoto": Thanks for your answer, although it is lacking justification; but I assume you are aware of the particular model.
                      "Oze": Thanks for your interest.
                      "Blackcat4866": Thanks for your time answering my query. Your quote has added something to my knowledge.
                      "555": I'm glad you're not my technician, I'd answer back. You have to know that, although I pay for maintenance and I could fix the mess for free, I spent a little time, did the job myself, and did it well.
                      Now, why did I try such a media on the machine? The company that sold me the heat transfer paper assured me that it works with that.
