To use Black Generation, Office Colour or Graphic Pro must be the
selected Print Mode.
Your printer prints the colour black in one of two ways:
Composite Black or True Black.
C
OMPOSITE
BLACK
The cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners are combined to
create composite black.
This will sometimes give a glossier finish, due to the increased
amount of toner. It can also sometimes appear as a slightly
brownish black.
Use composite black when printing photographs.

BLACK
Only black toner is used to print true black.
Use True Black when printing a combination of text and graphics.
If you use True Black to print photographs, dark sections of the
photos may appear black.
