How do I print in black/grayscale only?
-
Follow the steps below for your operating system to select Black/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, some color ink is still being used.
Black/Grayscale is not recommended for printing black-and-white photos.
