  • Dell 1320c - fuser issue, only in B&W mode

    From Hendrik van der Heijden@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 1 15:36:26 2024
    Hi.

    I have a Dell 1320c color laser printer.

    When printing in black & white mode, often, the toner isn't fused
    properly to the paper. This mostly happens on the first page of a job.

    When printing the same B&W image in color mode, the toner is fused well.

    What is wrong and how can I fix this?

    Kind regards,

    Any chance that it's set to the wrong thickness of paper? My
    understanding is that they use more heat for thicker paper, "bond
    paper" being the thickest setting for my printer. But my laser
    printers are B/W only and aren't Dell.

    I use standard 80g/cm paper, and that is also configured.
    I also tried setting heavier paper, and also increased the fuser
    temperature a little, both did not help.
