Printing Speed Versus Color

The BJC-4400 Series Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum of colors, up to 16.7 million colors. When printing in color, there is a significant increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and translate. When printing with black ink only, the driver has only one color to interpret.

By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to interpret, you can significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will speed up the overall printing process.

For Quick Color Printing

In the BJC-4400 Series Printer Driver for Windows, choose the following settings. These selections allow the printer driver to interpret and translate 256 colors, which will increase your printing speed. However, your print quality will not be optimized.

❍Media Type—Plain Paper

❍Print Quality—Standard; Fine is off
