Color/Mono
You can change the Color/Mono settings as follows:

Auto
The printer checks the content of your documents for color. If color is detected, it prints in color. If no color content is detected, it prints in monochrome. The total printing speed may become slower.
•
Color
When your document contains color and you want to print it in color, select this mode.
•
Mono
Select this mode if your document has only black and grayscale text and/or objects. Mono mode makes the print processing speed faster than color mode. If your document contains color, selecting Mono mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray.

If the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life, choosing Mono will allow you to keep printing as long as the Black toner does not reach the end of its life.
