Selecting The Color Mode - Sharp MX-2300N User Manual

SELECTING THE COLOR MODE

This section explains how to select the "Color Mode" on the [Color] tab of the printer driver properties window. The
following three selections are available for the "Color Mode".
Automatic: The machine automatically determines whether each page is color or black and white and prints the
page accordingly. Pages with colors other than black and white are printed using Y (Yellow), M
(Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner. Pages that are only black and white are printed using Bk
(Black) toner only. This is convenient when printing a document that has both color and black and
white pages, however, the printing speed is slower.
Color: All pages are printed in color. Both color data and black and white data are printed using Y (Yellow), M
(Magenta), C (Cyan) and Bk (Black) toner.
Black and White: All pages are printed in black and white. Color data such as images or materials for a presentation are
printed using black toner only. This mode helps conserve color toner when you do not need to print in
color, such as when proofreading or checking the layout of a document.
When [Automatic] is selected in the PCL6, PCL5c, or PS printer driver
Print data that includes images are counted as color even though the data is black and white. To be always counted and
printed as black and white, select [Black and White].
