To activate grayscale printing, change the Print Color as Gray setting to on. This overrides your color settings and prints your documents in black and white (monochrome, grayscale). Grayscale means shades of gray, starting with white and ending with black. When a color document is printed in grayscale, colors are converted to their grayscale equivalents, which means that different colors are represented as different shades of gray. This printer can produce up to 256 shades of gray. Color images that are printed as monochrome print faster and are easier to reproduce on monochrome devices such as copiers and fax machines. When Print Color as Gray is on, ALL of your documents will print as grayscale until the setting is changed to off.

Options: Automatic and Manual

HP ColorSmart technology is a set of defaults that automatically tune your color printer output. The HP ColorSmart defaults provide high- quality output when colored objects (text, graphics, or images) are printed.

Choose from the following HP ColorSmart options:

Automatic lets the printer driver optimize the color settings for text, graphics, and images (photos). Color is optimized based on the type of data being sent to the printer. This option automatically selects the appropriate color settings for the document you are printing. This provides you with screen-matched or WYSIWYG color output without any changes to the printer driver. The automatic setting is best for most applications.

Manual lets you adjust the color control independently for printed text, graphics, and images. The color options are vivid or screen match.
