MONO-PRINT SPEED AUTO SPEED
Settings Explanation
AUTO SPEED If the first page of a print job is only black and
AUTO SPEED AUTO SPEED
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.
MONO 24PPM 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.
COLOUR SPEED The printer runs at 16ppm 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
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.
