When black and white documents are printed using the auto color feature, it used to print greyscale but now this machine is printing a greyscale document with blue on the left and right with red in the middle. If you make a copy from the glass using auto color of a black n white document, it will be fine but when you print the document, this weird color effect happens. Any ideas?

What do the gradation test prints in CE mode look like?

What driver are you using?

The gradation prints said the values were all in range and the driver is PCL 11.1.2.0. I re installed the driver and tested the post script as well.

Anyway, the sensitivity will bias it to either be more sensitive to b&w or color![emoji41][emoji1303] In Pagescope, the auto color setting should be under the print section.

The document seem to be scan in color mode so its a color document. The scanner could have been wonky...
If you manual select grey scale from the driver does it print correctly.

The document is a PDF sent to customer and probably was scanned from another machine using full color but when I print it to another machine using auto-color, it prints fine (black and white) but when I print to the C3851, it prints blue and red. Also, if I print in greyscale, it prints in greyscale.
