How do I set my product's software to print only in Black or Grayscale from Windows or my Mac?
-
Open a document and follow the steps below for your operating system to select Black/Grayscale or Grayscale in the printer driver.
Note: The information below applies only to the Standard Epson printer software.
Note: To keep the print head clear and ready to print, the printer uses a small amount of ink from all the ink packs 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.
Note: If your product displays a message instructing you to replace an expended ink pack, you will need to replace the ink pack before you can print.
