MONO-PRINT 
SPEEDAUTO SPEED
MONO 32PPM
COLOR SPEED 
MIXED SPEEDIf 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 20ppm (C5700) or 26ppm 
(C5900) 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 20ppm (C5700) or 
26ppm (C5900) for colour pages. 
This setting is therefore most 
appropriate when the majority of 
print jobs are entirely black and 
white.
The printer runs at 20 ppm (C5700), 
26ppm ((C5900)for all print jobs. 
This setting is most appropriate 
when the majority of print jobs are 
in colour.
The printer automatically switches 
between 20 ppm (C5700), 26ppm 
(C5900) 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.

COLOUR MENU
The printer automatically adjusts colour balance and density at 
appropriate intervals, optimising the printed output for bright 
white paper viewed in natural daylight conditions. The items on 
this menu provide a means of changing the default settings for 
special or particularly difficult print jobs. Settings revert to their 
default values when the next print job is complete.
ITEMSETTINGSEXPLANATION
DENSITY 
CONTROLAUTO
MANUALIf set to AUTO, image density will be 
automatically adjusted at power on, 
when a new image drum or toner 
cartridge is installed, and at intervals 
of 100, 300 and 500 drum counts. If 
a 500 drum count interval occurs 
during a print job it will occur at the 
end of that job, and will take up to 
55 seconds. If set to manual, this 
adjustment will only be performed 
when initiated by the next menu 
item.

density set up immediately.
