A. Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers
When feeding envelopes from the multi purpose drawer, damage
to the envelopes or smudges on prints may occur even if enve-
lopes within specification are used. In this case, the problem may
be reduced by shifting the fusing unit pressure adjusting levers
from the normal position to the lower pressure position. Follow the
procedure below.
