MONO-PRINT

AUTO SPEED

If the first page of a print job is black

SPEED

 

and white, the printer runs at 32ppm

 

 

(pages per minute). When a colour

 

 

page is detected the printer slows down

 

 

to 26ppm for the rest of that job.

 

MONO 32PPM

This setting operates in the same way

 

 

as AUTO SPEED, except that the printer

 

 

runs at 32ppm 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

 

 

26ppm for colour pages. This setting is

 

 

therefore most appropriate when the

 

 

majority of print jobs are entirely black

 

 

and white.

 

COLOR SPEED

The printer runs at 26ppm for all print

 

 

jobs. This setting is most appropriate

 

 

when the majority of print jobs are in

 

 

colour.

 

MIXED SPEED

The printer automatically switches

 

 

between 26ppm 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

 

 

delay each time the printer switches

 

 

between colour and black and white

 

 

printing. However, the 30 –60 second

 

 

cool down delay described for MONO

 

 

32ppm is avoided by limiting mono

 

 

speed to 20ppm. This setting may be

 

 

preferred for mostly black and white

 

 

printing with some colour pages, or

 

 

where most print jobs are entirely

 

 

colour or entirely black and white.

 

 

 

ORIENTATION

PORTRAIT

Selects default page orientation

 

LANDSCAPE

between portrait (tall) and landscape

LINES PER PAGE

5~64~128

Sets the number of lines of text per
