About color Your HP DeskJet 610C Series printer prints in color when a colorcapable software program is used with the printing software. Believe it or not, your color printer prints with only four colors-cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. By printing overlapping dots of different intensity and color, it creates practically any color you can imagine. How to turn off color The color text and pictures that you create in your documents automatically print in color. You can print drafts of your documents in grayscale if you're going to photocopy them in black and white, or if you want to save time and ink. • In the HP print settings dialog box, click the Color tab, and then click Print in Grayscale. Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Your printer is especially smart about printing color. (That's why HP called the technology ColorSmart™!) When you print a document in color, the printer marks each element in your document-text, fullcolor photographs, and graphics (such as pie charts with solid blocks of color)-and renders each at its vivid best. (If you use the photo cartridge when you print color photographs, you'll get photo-quality images!) Not only is the color quality high, for whatever you're printing, but it's also less expensive than making color copies at a copy shop. A "" means that color is turned off. Now your color documents print in shades of gray until you change the setting. For faster draft printing in grayscale, use the black print cartridge, not the photo cartridge. 14
