Color Mode

Use this to select whether the document is printed in color or black and white.

The following table shows where you can select this function.

Windows

[Color Mode] is displayed on the [Basic] menu in the [Printing Preferences] dialog box.

Mac OS X

[Color Mode] is displayed under [General 1] in the

[Feature Sets:] list on [Printer Features] in the print dialog box.

You can select the following items:

Color

Prints color documents in full color.

Black and White

Prints everything, including color documents, in black and white. Black and White printing is faster than Color printing. To stop black and white areas being printed with CMYK toner, select [Black and White] in the printer driver as well as in the application.

Color images will be printed using CMYK toner, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. CMYK are three primary subtractive colors.
If you want to adjust the print color, adjust the color settings. For details, see "Color Control".
