So, I just got a Phaser 6510 and I'm trying to print on glossy paper and all of my solid colred areas are coming out all splotchy and uneven. I tried adjusting the fuser temperature and the voltage but I must be doing something wrong because it's not working right. There is no paper setting for glossy paper, only cardstock. I'm using xerox 80lb elite glossy paper and I print on this paper alot. I need a fix for this problem or this printer is absolutely usely to me.
There are 2 Glossy stocks listed in the paper settings on the printer.
Glossy Card Stock and LightWeight Glossy Card Stock and they are both available in tray 1 and 2
