The Max Speed and Max Yield settings allow you to choose between a faster print speed or a higher toner yield. Max Speed is the factory default setting.
Max Speed—Prints in a black only mode until it receives a page with color content. Then, it prints in color and does not switch to black only until it receives ten consecutive black-and-white pages.
Max Yield—Switches from black to color mode 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.
