How do I print in black/grayscale only?
-
Follow the steps below for your operating system to select Black/Grayscale or Grayscale in the printer driver.
Note: To keep the print head clear and ready to print, the printer uses a small amount of ink from all the cartridges whenever it prints. Even if you select Black/Grayscale or Grayscale, some color ink is still being used.
Black/Grayscale or Grayscale is not recommended for printing black-and-white photos.
Windows 2000, XP, Vista- Open the File menu and select Print.
- Click Properties or Preferences, and click the Advanced tab.
- Under Print Options, select Black/Grayscale and click OK.
Note: Black/Grayscale allows you to print in shades of gray.
- Open the File menu and select Print.
