How do I print in black/grayscale only?
-
Open a document, then follow the steps below for your operating system to select Black/Grayscale in the printer driver. The Black/Grayscale setting may not be available for all paper types.
Note:
To keep the print head clear and ready to print, the product 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.
- Open the File menu or click and select Print.
- Make sure the Stylus NX530 is selected as the printer.
- Click Properties or Preferences.
Note:
If you don't see these buttons, click Setup, Printer, or Options, then click Properties or Preferences on the next screen. - Click the Main tab.
- Select Black/Grayscale under Print Options.

- Open the File menu and select Print.
