    Altalink C8055 black/white only

    I have a customer that wants to use their C8055 as a black/white copier and printer. I know you can set the copy for b/w (but it will do color if you select it). And the print driver can be set to b/w by default (same, can be selected) inside centreware using the browser.

    I bought a C8055 that would not make a color copy or print. I don't remember where I enabled it back to color, but it took quite a while to find the setting. Has anyone seen this before?

    Is it buried in the centreware/properties/printer/general? I was hoping I wouldn't forget where the setting was!

    Interesting, this is not a setting I have ever heard of before. Subscribed.

        Thanks, but reloading the software will not make the copier print/copy b/w only. Right? She wants to use her C8055 to be a b/w only without letting anyone override the defaults to use color. If I find the location I will post it.

            I found it! In the browser go to:
            copy
            setup
            manage user permissions
            user permission roles
            non-logged in user
            edit
            B/W only!
