If the first page of a print job is only
black and white, the printer runs at
20ppm (pages per minute). When a
colour page is detected the printer
slows down to 16ppm for the rest of
that job.
This setting operates in the same way
as AUTO SPEED, except that the printer
runs at 24ppm until a colour page is
detected. To achieve this speed the
printer requires an additional 10 – 20
seconds to warm up and 30 – 60
seconds to cool down when switching
to 16ppm for colour pages. This setting
is therefore most appropriate when the
majority of print jobs are entirely black
and white.
The printer runs at 16ppm for all print
jobs. This setting is most appropriate
when the majority of print jobs are in
colour.
The printer automatically switches
between 16ppm for each colour page
and 20ppm for each black and white
page. When black and white pages are
printed, the 3 colour drums are
automatically lifted to maximize their
working life. This operation imposes a
10 – 20 second delay each time the
printer switches between colour and
black and white printing. However, the
30 – 60 second cool down delay
described for MONO 24ppm is avoided
by limiting black and white speed to
20ppm. This setting may be preferred
for mostly black and white printing with
some colour pages, or for
environments where print jobs consist
of all colour pages or all black and
white pages.
