    Mixed Pdf document 2pages 1pg color 2nd page Black and white but counts as 2 color pr

    Hi All

    I have a Imc2500 that is counting a two page document as two color prints even thou second page is black and white is there anyway to get it to split it up as one color print and the other black and white print the document is a PDF

    1.I am printing the document duplex
    2.its a PDF(1flie) pg1 color pg2 black and white
    3.I know the driver doesn't have auto color select
    4.when I print it out my color meter goes up by 2
    5.I want the printer to see the job as 2 clicks(prints) but split it up as 1 color print and the other print as black and white

    any help would be great but As far as my knowledge goes it cant be done

    Thanks

    I can think of 2 possible reasons:
    1. All it takes for a page to be counted as a color page is 1 color pixel on the page
    2. You are printing duplex and the IMC is counting both sides of a duplex sheet as color
