can you print in color?

If you consider greyscale a color then yes but this printer is only a black and white label printer.

yes. in my experience with this printer you have to replace colors before you can print again. i have tried going to black and white only and greyscale like the support pages ask you to do but i have had no luck.

I've not found a way to do anything except greyscale. Look in "Properties" and see if it's possible with your printer. I think that unless you're printing with greyscale, you are using black.

I was interested in finding out if this would be a problem, so I removed the color cartridges from my printer and was able to still print in mono. Hopefully this answers your question.

Yes, it scans in color. It gives you a choice of black and white, grayscale, or color. Obviously since it is a black and white printer it will not print in color but it will scan color to a file very nicely.

I'm not sure you can do it from the printer, but if I wanted a BW print from a color page, I'd open the document in an image editor, such as Photoshop, and make it an all BW document. Good luck.

I don't think this is possible. The printer software needs to detect a color cartridge. But you can use the software to turn off color and print only in black and white.

No color, it is a thermal printer. Doesn't use ink, uses heat to transfer the data to the paper. You need special paper for it.

Printing in black only will not use any of the other toner colors, so you can print in black and white just as with any other printer. There are also options for "Mono" printing, so that you can print any document (even color documents) in only black, if you wish.

You have the option to print in grayscale instead of color. However, ink from the three color cartridges are used up in a process the machine uses to make sure the cartridges don't dry up. So, bottom line: you will need color cartridges, and you will have to replace them from time to time. I use generic cartridges, so the cost is minimal.

Yes, there is a setting to print in black only. When you click to print, the window on the printer will ask if you want it in color or black and white. That being said, you still have to have color ink s in the printer to get it to work at all. I have basically given up on printers and take most of my work to places like OfficeMax etc. the quality of these home printers seems to have gone down over the years. It costs a fortune for the ink and it seems to run out very fast. It is touchy too, always saying it is out of paper when it is not. Sorry to be negative, but this machine doesn't impress me at all.

this printer does not use color cartridges to print B&W--; at least not by default. If you are low or out of B&W; ink the printer will ask you if you want to use the color cartridges to create black. This was a major selling point for me because I used to hate how HP printers required color to print B&W.;

Yes. But when you run out of color inks you cannot print just black. You have to replace color cartridges even if you don't use them in order to print black. I gave up that nonsense and I bought an only black printer. I go to Kinko's when I occasionally need color prints. Good luck and happy new year.

I don't know the answer when you're printing full color, but when you print grey scale or B&W;, you can force the printer to use black only (through the print options.)

Yes, you can, but I strongly advise that you don't purchase this printer. It requires you to constantly change the black and color cartridges (even if you never print color), making it the most costly printer I have ever owned.
1968041
you can but If you are out of color, it won't let you print until you replace the cartridge...even if you switch it to black only.

I haven't personally printed any, but it has the capability. I watched a youtube video and it shows you how to do it. Hope this helps.
