Color Mode


[Auto (Color/B&W)]*, [Black & White]

This settings enables you to specify whether to automatically switch beween colour printing or black-and-white printing, or always perform black-and-white printing.

[Auto (Color/B&W)]

The machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colours: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).

[Black & White]

Data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in colour.

IMPORTANT
When colour printing cannot be performed, the machine can be used with the Limited Functions Mode, which only enables black-and-white printing.
When the machine switches to the Limited Functions Mode, existing jobs that are being processed are cancelled.
When the machine switches to the Limited Functions Mode, existing jobs that have colour pages are cancelled.
NOTE
If different colour data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish colour from monochrome, even if [Auto (Color/B&W)] is selected. For example, although the printout looks monochrome, if different colour data is overlaid, it is printed in colour mode, thereby using the colour toner cartridges to print, not the black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as colour data in the application you are using, it is printed in colour mode, even though the data looks monochrome.
