We do not recommend Toner Save Mode for printing Photo or grayscale images.

Sleep Time [Min.]

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters Sleep mode. In Sleep mode, the machine acts as though it were turned off. If you choose Printer Default, the timeout setting will be reset to the specific time set at the factory; this can be altered in the driver. To change the Sleep Time, choose 2, 10 or 30.

While the machine is in Sleep mode, the LCD displays Sleep, but the machine can still receive data. Receiving a print job will wake up the machine to start printing.

Color / Mono

You can change the Color/Mono settings in the printer driver as follows:

•Auto

The machine checks the content of the document for color. If color is detected anywhere in the document, it will print the whole of the document using all the colors. In other words, it will mix some of the toners to help achieve every shade detected in the document, increasing the density of toner applied to the page. If no color content is detected, it will print the document in monochrome. The default setting on your machine is Auto.

•Color

Whether the document contains color or just monochrome, your machine will print the document using all the colors.

•Mono

Select this mode if the document has only black and grayscale text and objects. If your document contains color, this mode prints the document in 256 levels of gray using the black toner.

NOTE

•The machine’s color sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white background as color. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve color toner, select Mono mode.

•If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the print job cannot be completed. You can cancel your print job and choose to start the print job again in Mono mode, as long as Black toner is available.

Color Mode

The following options are available in Color Matching mode:

•Normal

This is the Default color mode.

•Vivid

The color of all elements are adjusted to become a more vivid color.

•None
