Selecting Auto Color prints the original in gray scale mode when the image is made only in K after color conversion, and in color mode when a color image is included after color conversion.

However, if color and monochrome originals are mixed, the original is switched between color and gray scale modes, which reduces productivity.

Selecting Full Color prints the original in color regardless of the color conversion result.

When Full Color is selected, productivity is not reduced because the color mode is not switched for each process.

When Gray Scale is selected, productivity is not reduced because the color mode is not switched for each process.

* The color conversion result varies depending on the color configuration setting.
