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 If you want the printer to use Color mode even when printing monochrome document, select this mode.
•	Mono Select this mode if your document has only black or 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.

Note

If the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner runs out, choosing Mono will allow you to keep printing as long as the Black toner does not run out.

Print Quality

You can change the print quality as follows:

•	Normal 600 x 600 dpi. Recommended mode for ordinary printouts. Good print quality with reasonable printing speed.
•	Fine 2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time, data transfer time and printing time will be longer.
