On*, Off
This setting enables you to specify how black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B should be processed when device dependent RGB data is converted into device dependent CMYK data using the 'RGB Source Profile' of the machine.
If [On] is selected, black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B is printed using the black (K) toner only, regardless of the selected 'Output Profile' setting.
If [Off] is selected, black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B is printed using CMYK toners based on the selected 'Output Profile' setting.
IMPORTANT
If you can see gradations or jagged lines in the printouts of black or gray data, select [Off] in RGB Pure Black Process and select [Normal] for 'Output Profile'.
NOTE
•In combination with certain settings, black and gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B 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 [None] is selected for 'RGB Source Profile'
-When [TR Normal] or [TR Photo] is selected for 'Output Profile'
-When 'Prioritize Printing of Lines and Text' in the printer driver is selected
•If [None] is selected for 'RGB Source Profile', the RGB Pure Black Process setting is not applied.
CMYK Pure Black ProcessOn*, Off
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.
NOTE
•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.
