To keep costs down when printing our installers at Platinum Copier Solutions will default the print drivers to print black and white rather than leave the color mode on automatic. When running the driver installer the drivers are defaulted to 2-sided, and automatic color. There are a few extra steps to ensure you’re only printing color when needed.
