Table 3-18 Supplies menu (continued) First level Second level Third level Fourth level Values Auto* Mostly Color Pages Description Select Auto to instruct the product to use the mode that is appropriate for the first page of the job. If necessary, the product switches modes during the middle of a job and then stays in that mode until the job is finished. This is the factory default setting. Select Mostly Color Pages if the majority of jobs that you print are in color. The product uses color mode for all jobs, even if the job contains no color pages. Using this setting can save time, but it increases wear on the color print cartridges. Select Mostly Color Pages if the majority of jobs that you print are in black & white. The product uses monochrome mode until it detects a color page. The product switches back to monochrome mode when it detects a sequence of several monochrome pages. Using this setting can increase the time required to print a job, but it decreases wear on the color print cartridges. ENWW Tools for troubleshooting 321
