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.

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.
