If a printer is optimized for color, then receives a black-and-white print job, the printer switches to the
black toner. In the same way, if a printer is optimized for black and white, then receives a color print
job, the printer switches to color toners. Anytime a printer switches from its optimized setting, the
printer requires extra time to print the first page.You can select which mode is optimized by default
on your printer.
To set the default optimization:
1. In the Embedded Web Server, log in as administrator, then click System → Defaults and Policies .
2. In the Common area, click First Page Printing Optimization .
3. Select an option, then click OK .

The Default Print Paper Size setting specifies the paper size if any of the following circumstances
occur:
• The print job specifies a paper tray that either does not exist or that has failed.
• The print job specifies a paper size that is unknown or that is not supported.

You can specify the default paper size for Letter or A4.

Color printers can use the color toner for black-and-white print jobs and color print jobs. You can
optimize the printer for the most efficient use of toner supplies.
The Color Printing Optimization setting provides the following options.
• Color : This setting uses color toners for all jobs. If you print many jobs in black and white, this
setting is less efficient for toner consumption.
• Economy : This setting switches between color and black and white for each page of a print job.
This setting conserves the color toners.
