Changing black finishing

The finishing for the black parts can be changed in color printing. The black finishing settings can be used when [Office Color] or [Graphic Pro] is selected in the printer driver.

Two types of black finishing can be created: from the toner cartridges of Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) and Black (K), and from only Black (K). The black finishing with CMYK toner is ideal for printing photos. The black finishing with black toner is ideal for printing black characters and graphics.

This setting can be automatically selected when [Office Color] is selected. When Auto is selected, this machine prints by selecting the ideal method automatically.
