Foreground printing

If the Print Manager is not active (turned off), the print file that your application and printer driver create

is sent directly to the printer. This means you are printing in the foreground and you cannot use your

computer for other work until you have finished printing.

Printing usually works best with the BJC-610 when the Print Manager is turned off. You can turn off the

Print Manager by using the Control Panel in the Main group window. Select the Printers icon, then click

on the X that is in the Use Print Manager check box. (This will make the X disappear.)

Color and Cost

Printing in color costs more than printing in black only. To reduce the cost of color printing, follow these

guidelines to conserve ink:

Use black ink or draft color mode.

Choose colored hatch patterns instead of solid colors.

Hatch patterns typically use less ink and look just as good as solid colors.

Use lighter colors that use more white space.

For example, use pink instead of red. Although white is a color, the printer does not reproduce

white ink, it uses the color of the paper as white.

Avoid using full color presentations.

For color presentations that do contain a full color background, print the background for the final

output, not for drafts.

Use simple color

Use the primary printing colors of the printer; black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.

In Microsoft Windows, set print intensity to light.

Use the Printer Setup Options to set intensity to light (greater than zero).
