Using Max Speed and Max Yield

The Max Speed and Max Yield settings let you choose between a faster print speed or a higher toner yield. Max Yield is the factory default setting.

• Max Speed—This lets you print in either black or color depending on what is set in the printer driver. The printer prints in color unless Black Only is selected in the printer driver.

• Max Yield—This lets you switch from black to color based on the color content found on each page. Frequent color mode switching can result in slower printing if the content of pages is mixed.
