Colour/Mono

Colour

When your document contains colour and you want to print it in colour, select this mode. Only generic colours will appear on the printout. (Unless you also select colour matching.)

Mono

Select this mode if your document has only black and gray scale text and/or objects. Mono mode makes the print processing speed faster than colour mode. If your document contains colour, selecting Mono mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray scale.

Controlling the Colour

To get accurate colour matched output between the monitor and MFC, the colour data should be adjusted for the MFC before printing.

Colour adjustment is provided by both Windows® 95 / 98 and this printer driver. Using this feature, the colour data is adjusted by Win95 ICM or the Brother MFC-740 printer driver and you can get colours more closely matching those appearing on the PC monitor.

When you are using a software application that has its own colour matching engine, turn this setting off. The colour matching system from that application is then used.

Windows® 95 / 98 has a colour matching engine called “ICM - Image Colour Matching” in its Operating System. ICM uses a profile of each device (monitor, scanner, printer, MFC) to know the characteristics of individual devices and correct the difference between them. When this is set to off, the Brother MFC-730/MFC-740 printer driver will do the colour adjustment. At present, the ICM feature is not supported by all the monitor and printer vendors and if ICM does not have your PC monitor’s profile, then ICM cannot work correctly. Moreover, ICM takes a longer time.

When using Windows® 3.1, 3.11, NT, this selection is not available.
