If the first page of a print job is only black and white, the printer runs at 20ppm (pages per minute). When a colour page is detected the printer slows down to 16ppm for the rest of that job.
This setting operates in the same way as AUTO SPEED, except that the printer runs at 24ppm until a colour page is detected. To achieve this speed the printer requires an additional 10 – 20 seconds to warm up and 30 – 60 seconds to cool down when switching to 16ppm for colour pages. This setting is therefore most appropriate when the majority of print jobs are entirely black and white.
The printer runs at 16ppm for all print jobs. This setting is most appropriate when the majority of print jobs are in colour.
The printer automatically switches between 16ppm for each colour page and 20ppm for each black and white page. When black and white pages are printed, the 3 colour drums are automatically lifted to maximize their working life. This operation imposes a 10 – 20 second delay each time the printer switches between colour and black and white printing. However, the 30 – 60 second cool down delay described for MONO 24ppm is avoided by limiting black and white speed to 20ppm. This setting may be preferred for mostly black and white printing with some colour pages, or for environments where print jobs consist of all colour pages or all black and white pages.
