GRAPHICS
When your document is printed, often the pure black colors will 
not be printed using 100% black toner. Instead, these pure black 
colors are sometimes converted and printed using a mixture of 
CMYK toner.
Using the Pure Black Text / Graphics feature ensures that 100% 
black text or graphics in your document is printed using pure 
black toner.
This means that the following colors in your documents will be 
printed using only 100% black toner:
RGBRed = 0, Green = 0, Blue = 0
CMYKCyan = 0%, Yellow = 0%, Magenta = 0%, 
Black = 100%

PRECISION
When the MFP performs color matching, it must do many 
calculations to convert between different color formats (RGB, 
CMYK, etc.). These calculations can take time to process.
The [Color Match Precision] option allows you to choose between 
higher quality color matching (more time consuming) or faster 
but less accurate color matching.

MATCHING
If you are creating ICC profiles using third-party software, select 
[Disable Color Matching for ICC Profile Creation]. This option 
switches off all printer color management and also prevents the 
MFP from restricting toner layer thickness.
If you are using your application color matching, select [Use 
Application Color Matching]. This option switches off all printer 
color management.
1. On the PCL printer driver [Color] tab, select [Graphic Pro] 
(1) and click [Options].

you are creating an ICC profile using third-party profile 
creation software. Select [Use Application Color Matching]
