HP L 5 manual Monochrome Printing, Monochrome Print Mode Command

Monochrome Printing

The Monochrome Print Mode command converts each color value to its grayscale equivalent. This improves throughput, costs less to print, and eliminates waste by providing a draft mode.

Monochrome Print Mode Command

The Monochrome Print Mode command designates whether to print using the current rendering mode or a fast gray-scale equivalent. Pages printed using the gray-scale equivalent do not use any color and therefore print faster and more economically.

?&b#M
# = 0	-	Print in mixed render algorithm mode

Default	=	0
Range	=	0, 1 (command is ignored for invalid values)

This command must be sent prior to printable data; otherwise, the current page is closed and printed. It may be sent on a page-by-page basis.
