output from your printer.

SPEED
COLOR SPEED If the first page of a print job is black 
and white, the printer runs at 32ppm 
(pages per minute). When a colour 
page is detected the printer slows 
down to 20ppm (C5600) or 26ppm 
(C5800) for the rest of that job.
This setting operates in the same 
way as AUTO SPEED, except that the 
printer runs at 32ppm until a colour 
page is detected. To achieve this 
speed the printer requires an 
additional 10 – 20 seconds to warm 
up and...
