SPEED AUTO SPEED
MONO 32PPM
COLOR SPEED
MIXED SPEED
If the first page of a print job is black
and white, the printer runs at 32ppm
(pages per minute). When a colour
page is detected the printer slows
down to 26ppm for the rest of that
job.
This setting operates in the same
way as AUTO SPEED, except that the
printer runs at 32ppm 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 26ppm for colour
pages. This setting is therefore most
appropriate when the majority of
print jobs are entirely black and
white.
The printer runs at 26ppm for all
print jobs. This setting is most
appropriate when the majority of
print jobs are in colour.
The printer automatically switches
between 26ppm 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 delay each time the printer
switches between colour and black
and white printing. However, the 30
–60 second cool down delay
described for MONO 32ppm is
avoided by limiting mono speed to
20ppm. This setting may be
preferred for mostly black and white
printing with some colour pages, or
where most print jobs are entirely
colour or entirely black and white.
