Full Color
The Full Color option combines all four dry ink
colors (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). You
should select the Full Color option when the
document contains color and black, as in Figure 4.
In this mode, output is produced at approximately
12 copies/prints per minute.
KEY POINT: Gold, silver, and fluorescent colors
cannot be copied accurately on this copier/printer.
The dry inks (toners) do not contain the metallic
particles necessary to accurately reproduce gold
and silver colors or the fluorescent properties that
are required to reproduce fluorescent colors.
3 Pass Color
The 3 Pass Color option combines the three
colors of dry inks (cyan, magenta, and yellow), as
illustrated in Figure 5. You should select the 3
Pass Color option when the document contains
very little black, or when Process Black is
acceptable over a true reproduction black, such as
is used with photographs. Process Black is a
combination of equal amounts of the three dry
inks.
NOTE: Process Black is created using Gray
Component Removal and uses equal amounts of
Cyan + Magenta + Yellow Dry Inks to create the
black in the document.
