0401: [Auto Color Selection Setting]

Specify the number of sheets the machine prints in the present special color mode*1 to full color mode or from a color mode (special color mode or full color mode) to black-and-white mode when you change the color mode.

When in Special Color Mode

  • When the machine performs full color printing after special color printing, you can specify whether the machine performs full color printing in special color mode or it performs full color printing in full color mode after printing a specified number of full color sheets in special color mode.

  • When the machine performs black-and-white printing after special color printing, you can specify whether the machine performs black-and-white printing in special color or it performs black-and-white printing in black-and-white mode after printing a specified number of black-and-white sheets in special color mode.

When in Full Color Mode

When the machine performs black-and-white printing after full color printing, you can specify whether the machine performs black-and-white printing in full color or it performs black-and-white printing in black-and-white mode after printing a specified number of black-and-white sheets in full color mode.

Because switching color modes takes time, you can improve throughput by increasing the number of sheets printed prior to switching.

For example, if you set this to "5 sheets", the machine stays in full color mode even if it prints a 15 page job with the first ten pages in color and the rest in black-and-white.
