CMYK Pure Black Process (PS Only)

Return to Overview


Off, On*


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

This setting enables you to specify how monochrome data (C=M=Y=0) should be printed when the device dependent CMYK data is processed using the <CMYK Simulation Profile> of the machine.

If <On> is selected, monochrome data (C=M=Y=0) is printed using the black (K) toner only, regardless of the selected <Output Profile> setting.

If <Off> is selected, monochrome data (C=M=Y=0) is printed using CMYK toners based on the selected <Output Profile> setting.


Remark
  • To use the PS printer driver with the machine, the optional PS Printer Kit is required.
  • In combination with certain settings, monochrome data (C=M=Y=0) may be printed using the black (K) toner only, even if <Off> is selected. The following are examples.
  • When <On> is selected for <Pure Black Text>
  • When <TR Normal> or <TR Photo> is selected for <Output Profile>
  • When [Use 100% GCR Profile] in the printer driver is selected
