Changing Colour Modes

This machine comes with the Automatic Color Selection mode, which recognizes whether the file is in colour or black-and-white, and then automatically switches between the Full Color mode and Black & White mode. You can also manually switch between the Full Color, Black & White, Single Color, and Two Colors modes whenever necessary.

Auto (Color/B&W)

If the Auto (Color/B&W) mode is selected, the machine automatically recognizes whether the file is in colour or black-and-white. Colour files are printed in the Color mode, while black-and-white files are printed in the Black & White mode.

Black & White

The Black & White mode always prints in black-and-white regardless of whether the file is in colour or black-and-white.

Single Color

The Single Color mode enables you to make one-colour prints.

*2 Print

Two Colors

The Two Colors mode enables you to make two-colour prints, composed of a colour you specify, and black.

IMPORTANT
You can select Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, or Cyan as the colour in the Single Color mode and the Two Colors mode. Files comprised of black-and-white images stored in a mail box cannot be printed in the Two Color mode. Files comprised of colour and black-and-white images stored in a mail box can be printed in the Two Color mode.

NOTE
When printing CMYK files stored in mail boxes, only [Auto (Color/B&W)] can be selected. (To print full colour CMYK files, only [Auto (Color/B&W)] can be specified.

If a file comprised of colour and black-and-white images is stored in a mail box using [Store in Mail Box] of the Copy function or using Scan and Store function, and the file is printed in the Two Colors mode, black-and-white page is counted as a colour print. If a file comprised of colour and black-and-white images is stored in a mail box from a computer, and the file is printed in the Two Colors mode, black-and-white page is counted as a black-and-white print.
