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 in which 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.
Grayscale printing renders colors as grayscales rather than all colors as
black. If you want all colors to be printed as black, then you should set all
your colors to black in your software. For example, if supported in your
software, use a pen number that is 100% black.
Alternatively, you could make one of the printer's internal palettes (A or B)
all black, and then select this as the current palette (see
changing the palette
settings).
notes
● The palette settings do not affect PostScript files (5500ps only).
● You cannot change the color/grayscale setting for pages already in the
printer's queue.
● HP-GL/2 drivers may override this setting.
