I did a service call on a canon color machine in a print shop yesterday.
They were using recycle paper, but the setting for paper type was plain.
To
my surprise, the customer told me that there is no difference between

recycle, color and bond paper and they refused to change the setting for
the
paper type as this would be time consuming to change the setting on 40
computers or for the end user to specify the paper type when they print
....
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
There is certainly a difference between some recycled paper and other
paper but
the real question is whether the customer is getting satisfactory results.
If
they are then I would agree with them, why change the settings? No damage
to
the printer will result from not changing the settings.

Of course, that damage to the printer will result from not changing the
settings. You must know that the machine runs and different speeds according
to the paper type. As a matter of fact, they were running heavy 1 paper as
plain, and the fuser unit that costs $3000.00 was damaged. The customer is
getting satisfactory results and can do whatever they want, but next time
they want me to replace their fuser prematurely, they are going to pay.
The majority of modern laser printers do not change the speed according to
paper type settings, they change the fuser temperature instead. If you think
about it there is very good reason to do it this way, changing speed affects
the throughput that the customer experiences, changing the temperature is
completely transparent to the user and allows them full enjoyment of the
printer they have purchased. What you say may be true of large photocopiers, I
don't know, but is not true of most modern laser printers in the entry to
commercial levels. A $3000 fuser is not applicable to the printers that are
discussed here, you have to be talking about a high end commercial printer.
Also, as Burt has eloquently said, the OP did not ask about different weights
of papers, only different content. Having said that, apart from two exceptions,
different weights will not damage printers provided the weight is with the
printers specs. The two exceptions are labels and transparencies (in a very
small number of cases envelopes also).
Without wishing to complicate this too much, there are printers that do slow
down feeding from multifunction trays, this is done for entirely different
reasons.
