ACS (Auto Color Sensing) Mode

ACS: On

The machine can print in color or monochrome mode (selected via the printer
driver's interface). In color mode, ACS can be switched on or off using a user tool
(default: on).
If ACS is on, the transfer belt remains fixed against the K drum only for pages with
black and white data. If any pages with color data appear, the transfer belt lifts
against all drums. If the pages following a color print page are black and white
pages, the transfer belts position changes to contact to the K drum only. It takes
approximately 15 seconds to switch modes.
If ACS is off and color mode is selected, all data is printed with the transfer belt
positioned against all four drums. The belt does not move even if a K only page
appears.
