Chapter 3: Using color
If you set Printer Usage to Maximum Yield, the printer
drops the transport belt when it detects a mono page and
thereby removes the color print units from the paper path.
This extends the life of the color photoconductors and
color toner cartridges. However, when the printer detects
a color page, it must then lift the transport belt back into
the color position, and calibrate the four photoconductors
and the toner cartridge drive gears to ensure consistent
color registration. This adds time to your printing.
If you choose Maximum Yield, the Timing Adjustment
menu item (also in the Setup Menu) lets you specify which
calibrations you want the printer to perform when it
adjusts from a mono job to a color job. The printer also
performs these same calibrations each time you turn the
printer on and each time you open and close the top cover.
The Timing Adjustment setting you choose may affect the
overall printing time, as well as print quality. See page 33
for more information.
For more suggestions on ways to conserve printer sup-
plies, see page 96.
