Printing color and mono jobs

You can choose whether your printer handles all pages as 
if they contain color, or adjusts mechanically when it rec-
ognizes a mono page—one which requires black toner 
only. The adjustment for mono jobs significantly slows 
overall printing time, but also extends the life of printer 
supplies. If you’re interested in conserving printer sup-
plies and reducing the overall cost of printing, you may 
want to change the Printer Usage setting in the Setup 
Menu to Maximum Yield. 

When shipped from the factory, your printer is designed 
to deliver the fastest possible printing of all jobs: color and 
mono. When the Printer Usage menu item is set to the 
default, Maximum Speed, the printer does not make any 
mechanical adjustments when it detects mono pages. 
Although it lays only black toner on the page, it does not 
remove the color print units from the paper path. This 
results in fast throughput, but at the cost of some wear on 
the color photoconductors and the developer rolls within 
the color toner cartridges.
