When a combination of black-and-white, full-color and special color printing is performed, switching color modes takes time, resulting in insufficient throughput.
Optimize the amount of sheets the machine prints in the current color mode before switching to another mode.
You can switch the color mode as follows:
From special-color to full-color
From special-color to black-and-white
From full-color to black-and-white
Because switching color modes takes time, increasing the amount of sheets before modes are switched will improve throughput.
In the [Machine: Productivity] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Operators] menu, change the value in 0401: [No. of Sheets for Auto Color Selection].
Optimize the amount of sheets for your operating environment.

If black-and-white printing is performed in full-color mode, cyan, magenta, and yellow development units are used for black-and-white printing, so that the Photoconductor unit needs to be replaced in a shorter period of time.
If black-and-white printing is performed in special color mode, the special color development units are used for black-and-white printing, so that the Photoconductor unit needs to be replaced in a shorter period of time.
When black-and-white printing is performed after full color printing, full color mode is always enabled as color printing cannot be performed in black-and-white mode.
When special color printing is performed after black-and-white printing, special color mode is always enabled as color printing cannot be performed in black-and-white mode.
Special color mode is available for Pro C7200X, Pro C7210X, Pro C7200SX, and Pro C7210SX.
