When you print a black and white document data, if you choose the Color mode and the media type except Plain Paper, the color ink is wasted unnecessarily. Because when your documents include color information even if documents appear in monochrome, the document will be printed in color, and in addition when your documents include gray-colored contents, the document may also be printed in color by color processing reason.
