My company has never changed the setting from the default, which is Mode 1. Here is what the service manual states about each setting. Essentially, the higher the number, the slower it is to warm up.

Mode1 (Default)	It makes the warm-up time for black print shortest.
Mode2	The warm-up time for both black and color will be as specified value.
Mode3	To prevent curling of the paper immediately after the warm-up, printing productivity is decreased by PPM control.The warm-up time will be as specified for both black and color.
Mode4	By having a longer warm-up time and warming up the fusing unit, curling of the paper immediately after the warm-up can be prevented. The warm-up period of time will be 65 seconds or under.

EDIT: Just noticed this was an old post brought back from the dead by somebody...

Still for me confusing.

What to choose for a customer who prints almost only B/W but is facing with the first prints in the morning, jams because the paper is curling when just entering the fuser.

Who cares about image stabilization as mentioned in the manual, when only one thing is important: Paper at least running through the machine without jams.

Below is a table pulled from the service manual that has a bit more detail for curling issue right after morning warm-up. It seems to involve two different settings, warn up and humidity circumstance.
The humidity setting is controlled in the ENGINE FW DipSW settings. Switch number 5, Choice of high humidity circumstance.
