Color Mode - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2230/C2225 e-Manual

Color Mode

[Auto (Color/B&W)]*, [Color], [Black & White]

This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.

[Auto (Color/B&W)]/[Color]

The machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).

[Black & White]

Data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.

NOTE
If different color data is overlaid, the machine may not distinguish color from monochrome, even if [Auto (Color/B&W)] or [Color] is selected. For example, although the printout looks monochrome, if different color data is overlaid, it is printed in color mode, thereby using the color toner cartridges to print, not the black toner cartridge. Furthermore, if the data is created as color data in the application you are using, it is printed in color mode, even though the data looks monochrome.
