NOTEFactors such as the type of monitor you use and the rooms lighting can affect the
appearance of colors on your screen. For more information, see 
Matching colors .
The latest versions of Adobe® PhotoShop®, CorelDRAW™, Microsoft Office, and many other
applications use sRGB to communicate color. Most importantly, as the default color space in
Microsoft operating systems, sRGB has gained broad adoption as a way to exchange color
information between software programs and devices by using a common...

Managing color options
Setting color options to Automatic typically produces the best  possible print quality for color
documents. However, in some situations, you might want to print a color document in grayscale
(black and shades of gray) or to change one of the printers color options.
Print in grayscale or change the color options by using the settings on the  Color tab in the printer
driver.

Halftone options
Halftoning is the method by which the printer mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. Halftone options affect the resolution
and clarity of your color output. The two halftone options are Smooth and Detail .
● The Smooth  option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photos by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when uniform and smooth
area fills are...

Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays  setting determines the method for creating gray colors that are used in text,
graphics, and photographs.
● Black Only  generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This option
guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast.
● 4-Color  generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner. This option produces
smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible
black.

Matching colors
The process of matching printer output color to your computer screen is quite complex because
printers and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by
light pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but printers print colors using a CMYK
(black, yellow, cyan, and magenta) process.
The following factors can influence your ability to match printed colors to those on your screen:
●Print media
● Printer colorants (inks or toners, for...
