Chapter 3, “Advanced Printer Features,” describes many of the user-configurable
printer settings that allow for customized setups to meet most printing needs.
*A plane is a single pass of the OPC belt (one toner color). For example, a one-color, sin-
gle-sided (simplex) print job makes one pass (one plane), and a two-color print job makes
two passes (two planes). A single-sided color page (also called a face) consists of four
passes (or planes) of the OPC belt, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors. A
two-sided (also known as duplex or two-faced) color page may consist of up to eight
passes of the OPC belt, since most color print jobs use all four toner colors.
Consumable life is expressed in simplex Letter/A4 pages (1 face). A duplex page (2 faces)
is equivalent to two simplex pages.
