Printing black-and-white photos

You can copy color photos and print them in black-and-white using the options in the Copy tab.

Note: The best way to print black and white photos is with the color cartridge. The color cartridge produces shades of gray and provides smoother coverage than a black cartridge, which is best for text printing.
