Printing Color Drawings in Monochrome
Examples of why you may want to print a color drawing in monochrome are:
because you want a draft where color is not important, for example to check that
the image is not going to be clipped,
because you want a version for photocopying in black and white.
Four important points:
The monochrome print will render colors as grayscales rather than all as black.
If you want all colors to be printed as black, then you should set all your colors
to black in your software. This is most easily achieved in CAD software by
using a pen number that is 100% black. Alternatively (except for PostScript
files), you could make one of the printer’s internal palettes (A or B) all black,
and then select this as the current palette (see earlier in this chapter for an
explanation of palettes).
With monochrome printing, you have the option to choose between true 300 and
true 600 dpi resolution (see page 5-12). This option does not apply to glossy
media types, on which the resolution is always 300 dpi.
If you send a monochrome drawing with this front-panel option set to Color , the
print resolution is 300 dpi, regardless of your Print Quality setting.
You cannot change the color/monochrome setting for pages already in the
printer’s queue.
