Changing Black Finish

You can change the black finish when printing in color. The black finish setting can be used when [Office Color] or [Graphic Pro] is selected in the printer driver.

There are two types of black finishes; one is composed of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K) toners, and the other is composed of a black (K) toner only. A black finish using CMYK toners is suitable for printing photographs. A black finish using a black toner only is suitable for printing black text or graphics.

If you use the [Office Color] function, you can also select the auto. If Automatic is selected, the suitable method is selected automatically to print out the document.
