Driver and Software
 Toner Save Mode
Conserve toner use with this feature. When you set Toner Save Mode to On, print appears lighter.
The default setting is Off.
NOTE
We do not recommend Toner Save Mode for printing Photo or greyscale images.
 Sleep Time [Min.]
When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters Sleep mode. In Sleep
mode, the machine acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default, the timeout
setting will be reset to the specific time set at the factory; this can be altered in the driver.
While the machine is in Sleep mode, the LCD displays Sleep, but the machine can still receive data.
Receiving a print job will wake up the machine to start printing.
 Colour / Mono
You can change the Colour/Mono settings in the printer driver as follows:
• Auto
The machine checks the content of the document for colour. If colour is detected anywhere in the
document, it will print the whole of the document using all the colours. In other words, it will mix
some of the toners to help achieve every shade detected in the document, increasing the density
of toner applied to the page. If no colour content is detected, it will print the document in
monochrome. The default setting on your machine is Auto.
• Colour
Whether the document contains colour or just monochrome, your machine will print the document
using all the colours.
• Mono
Select this mode if the document has only black and greyscale text and objects. If your document
contains colour, this mode prints the document in 256 levels of grey using the black toner.
NOTE
• The machine's colour sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white
background as colour. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve colour
toner, select Mono mode.
• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a colour document, the
print job cannot be completed. You can cancel your print job and choose to start the print job again in
Mono mode, as long as Black toner is available.
