Introduction Media & Ink Solutions Page Format Setting Page Size in the Front Panel Printing Images in Grayscale Front Panel Image Appearance Printer Options Other Print Management Index Printer Configuration There are times when you may want to print a color image in grayscale because it is faster. Examples of this are: • You want a draft where color is not important, for example to check that the image is not going to be clipped. • You want a version for photocopying in black and white. When you choose the Ink menu Color settings > Grayscale option, the printer renders colors as Grayscale rather. If you only want to use black ink to print in grayscale, you should select the Ink menu Color settings > True black option. NOTE: You cannot change the color/grayscale setting for pages already in the printer's queue. NOTE: HP-GL/2 drivers may override this setting.
