(cont.) Mono-Print Speed:
Auto Speed
, Mono 
34PPM, Mixed Speed, 
Color Speed Auto Speed
: If the first page of a 
print job is blac k and white, the 
machine runs at 34ppm (pages per 
minute). When a color page is 
detected the machine slows down 
to 26ppm for the rest of the job.
Mono 34PPM : This setting 
operates in the same way as auto 
speed, except that the machine 
runs at 34ppm until a color page is 
detected. To achieve this speed 
the machine requires an additional 
10-20 seconds to warm up and 30-
60 seconds to cool down when 
switching to 26ppm for color 
pages. This sett ing is therefore 
most appropriate when the 
majority of print jobs are entirely 
black and white.
Mixed Speed : The machine 
automatically switches between 
26ppm for each color page and 
34ppm for each black and white 
page. When black and white pages 
are printed, the 3 color drums are 
automatically lifted to maximize 
their working life. This operation 
imposes a delay each time the 
machine switches between color 
and black and white printing. 
However, the 30-60 second cool 
down delay described for Mono 
34ppm is avoided by limiting the 
mono speed to 26ppm. This 
setting may be preferred for 
mostly black and white printing 
with some color pages, or where 
most print jobs are entirely color 
or entirely black and white.
Color Speed : The machine runs 
at 26ppm for all print jobs. This 
setting is most appropriate when 
the majority of print jobs are in 
color.
