To use Black Generation, Office Color or Graphic Pro must be the
selected Print Mode.
Your MFP prints the color black in one of two ways:
Composite

OMPOSITE
BLACK
The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners are
combined
to
create composite black.
This will sometimes give a glossier finish, due to the increased
amount of toner. It can also sometimes appear as a slightly
brownish black.
Use composite black when printing photographs.
