Working with Color

To print in color, be sure your document contains colored text or pictures, then turn on color printing in your software program. Color printing is typically turned on in your software programÕs Print box. By default, the printer software is automatically set for color printing.

Turning Off Color

You can print drafts of your color documents in grayscale (shades of black) if youÕre going to photocopy them in black and white:

1In the HP print settings box, click the Color tab.

2Click Print in Grayscale. (Go to ÒFinding the HP Print Settings BoxÓ on page 26.)

Your color documents will print in shades of gray until you clear this setting.

If you want exceptional quality black and white documents, use Best or Normal mode (in the Setup tab of the HP print settings box) with the

grayscale setting.

Adjusting Color

Like a full-featured camera, your printer can Òauto adjust,Ó using HPÕs ColorSmart

IItechnologyÑautomatically making adjustments that give the best quality color printing. But if you prefer, you can manipulate the settings yourself to produce the effect you want:

1In the HP print settings box, click the Color tab.

2Click Manual.

3Click Options.

4Change the Intensity settings.

To find out more about these settings, click the Help button on the Color tab of the HP print settings box.
