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 grayscale 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.
 Color / Mono
You can change the Color/Mono settings in the printer driver as follows:
• Auto
The machine checks the content of the document for color. If color is detected anywhere in the
document, it will print the whole of the document using all the colors. 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 color content is detected, it will print the document in monochrome. The
default setting on your machine is Auto.
• Color
Whether the document contains color or just monochrome, your machine will print the document
using all the colors.
• Mono
Select this mode if the document has only black and grayscale text and objects. If your document
contains color, this mode prints the document in 256 levels of gray using the black toner.
NOTE
• The machine's color sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white background
as color. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve color toner, select
Mono mode.
• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color 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.
