Auto Detect*, Color, Black and White


An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting in this section.

This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.

If <Auto Detect> is selected, the machine automatically decides whether to print in color or black and white depending on the color type of the original.
If <Color> is selected, data is printed in all 4 colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If <Black and White> is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.


Remark
  • If different color data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish color from monochrome, even if <Auto Detect> is selected. For example, although the printout looks monochrome, if different color data is overlaid, it is printed in color mode, thereby using the color toner cartridges to print, not the black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as color data in the application you are using, it is printed in color mode, even though the data looks monochrome.
  • To display this setting, see "Making the Printer Settings from the Machine."
  • The setting made from the printer driver will override this setting made in the <Printer Settings> menu. If the selected printing options are not reflected correctly, check the printer driver settings.
