1.Color Matching:  Auto or Manual
Control over the color output of your printer may be

manual adjustment. The automatic setting will be 
appropriate in most cases. The other options in this 
window only become visible when you select a choice 
other than Auto. For grayscale printing, the printer runs 
at the fastest print speed (approx. 20ppm) and all pages 
are printed in black and white.

short period, the printer could prematurely assume that 
the document has finished. Selecting this option would 
prevent that situation, but printing will be completed a 
little later, as the start is delayed.
