Using Cartridge Detection

Use Cartridge Detection if you want the driver to alert you when the installed
BJ cartridge is not the correct choice to use with your Color Model setting. To
enable Cartridge, which is located on the Setting tab, click on the green Check.
Click on the red Circle symbol to disable it.

If Cartridge Detection cannot detect the cartridge type, it advised you to check
that your printer is on-line and that the cables are secure.

If you choose the Monochrome Color Model and you have a BC-11e Color BJ
Cartridge installed, you'll see:

Performance Tip!
You now have a color cartridge installed in your printer. For faster printing speed, change the color
cartridge to the monochrome cartridge.

Printing Speed Versus Color

The BJ Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full spectrum
of colors, up to 16.7 million colors. When printing in color, there is a significant
increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and
translate. When printing with black ink only, the driver has only one color to
interpret.

By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to interpret, you
can significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will
speed up the overall printing process.
