Notes on Printing when [Black and White] is Selected
If you select [Black and White] in the [Print Settings] of the [Printing Preferences] dia-
log box, black areas of text and line art might be detected as colour images, de-
pending on the application you are using. If this happens, the document might
be printed and counted as a CMYK image. To print and count the document as
a black and white image, use the following procedure to set the colour to black
and white in the printer driver.
A
In the printer driver's [Printing Preferences] dialog box, click the [Print Quality] tab.
B
Select the [User settings] check box.
C
In the list box, select a user setting.
D
Click [Change User Settings].
E
On the [Image Adjustments] tab, specify [Whole document] or [Single component]
for the document type.
If you specify [Single component], select [Text], [Graphics], or [Photograph].
F
In the [Gray reproduction (Text/Line Art):] list, select [K (Black)].
The gray reproduction is set to pure black.
If you select the [Print as bitmap] check box on the [Misc.] tab, the gray repro-
duction setting is ignored, and black areas of text and line art are printed and
counted as CMYK images.
G
Click [OK].
Note
❒ Black areas of text and line art that were produced using colours other than
black and gray are printed out and counted as CMYK images even if they
appear as black or gray on the screen.
❒ For details about the settings of [Image Adjustments], see the printer driver
Help.
