Auto Detect * , Full Color, and Black and White
This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
If [Auto Detect] or [Full Color] is selected, the machine automatically detects
whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all 4 colors: cyan (C),
magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If [Black and White] is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original
is in color.
NOTE
• If different color data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish color from
monochrome, even if [Auto Detect] or [Full Color] is selected. For example,
although the printout looks monochrome, if different color data is overlaid, it is
printed in full color mode, thereby using the color toner cartridges to print, not the
black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as color data in the
application you are using, it is printed in full color mode, even though the data looks
monochrome.
• If [None] is selected for the RGB Source Profile, and the machine receives a
device-dependent color space definition that is color-processed by the host
computer, gray data with the equivalent ratio of R to G to B is printed using black
(K) only.
