2. Select Document

3. Select Settings (Gear Icon)

4.Select Color/Black

5. Print Copy in Black

6. Scroll until "Save Current Settings" 

 

For Print

1. Go to Control Panel (on PC)

2. View devices and printers (under Hardware and Sound)

3. Right click on the printer and go to "Printing Preferences"

4. Under Paper/Quality select "Print in Greyscale"
