SELECTING THE COLOUR MODE
PRINTER
Black and white printing
[Black and White] that can be set on the
[Color] tab can also be set on the [Main] tab.
Click the [Black and White Print] checkbox
on the [Main] tab so that the checkmark
appears.
The following three selections are available for the "Color Mode" (a set of colours used for
printing):
Automatic:
The machine automatically determines whether each page is colour or
black and white and prints the page accordingly. Pages with colours
other than black and white are printed using Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C
(Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner. Pages that are only black and white are
printed using Bk (Black) toner only. This is convenient when printing a
document that has both colour and black and white pages, however, the
printing speed is slower.
Color:
All pages are printed in colour. Both colour data and black and white
data are printed using Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black)
toner.
Greyscale:
All pages are printed in black and white. Colour data such as images or
materials for a presentation are printed using black toner only. This mode
helps conserve colour toner when you do not need to print in colour,
such as when proofreading or checking the layout of a document.
When "Color Mode" is set to [Automatic]:
Even if the print result is black and white, the following types of print jobs will be
counted as 4-colour (Y (Yellow), M (Magenta), C (Cyan), and Bk (Black)) print jobs.
When you want such jobs to be counted as black and white jobs, select [Black and
White].
When the data is created as colour data.
When the application treats the data as colour data even though the data is
black and white.
When an image is hidden under a black and white image.
