Using Color
Introduction
This chapter contains information about the following:
·Colors available with your printer
·Adjusting print color and quality settings
·Controlling printer output
·Matching colors
ENUsing Color  3-1 
						

							Colors Available with Your Printer
Your HP Color LaserJet 5/5M printer can produce almost any color you
want through the use of halftones.   By varying the amount and pattern of
the four toner colors applied to a page in combination with halftoning, your
printer can produce 16 million colors.
Adjusting Print Color and Quality Settings
For most color printing needs, HP ColorSmart default settings will handle
your color adjustments. For some print jobs, you may want to turn off
ColorSmart defaults and set color controls manually.
Controlling Color Output
Printer Drivers
Use the printer driver (the software installed with your printer) to control
color output for text, graphics, and photos.  The printer driver enables your
computer applications to communicate with your printer and use all of its
features.
How you access your printer driver depends on the computer system you
have. For example, in a system with Windows, you would use your
application’s Print Setup command to access your driver.  For specific
instructions on accessing your printer driver, see the readme and/or online
help files.
NoteYour software application overrides some printer settings, such as paper
size, copies, or paper source.  When possible, use application settings for
adjustments other than color.
The following color control features are available only through your printer
driver.
3-2 Using ColorEN 
						

							ColorSmart
HP ColorSmart technology optimizes the color and halftoning for each
element in a document.  ColorSmart provides two options.
Automatic
For most color printing needs, the default HP ColorSmart automatic mode
will handle all of your color adjustments.
Manual
For custom color printing jobs, you can turn off ColorSmart defaults and set
color controls manually. 
The manual color option allows you to adjust the color settings for text,
graphics and photos separately by manipulating the following settings:
·Halftone
·Color Adjustment
·Color Control
The printer driver online help and/or readme file describe in more detail the
printer color settings, options, and their effect on your output.
Smooth and Detail Options
The Smooth option works well for filling in solid areas and gradients by
smoothing out fine color graduations.  The Detail option works well for
printing multiple-colored text and detail-oriented graphics and photos. 
The printer driver online help and/or readme file describe in more detail the
printer quality settings, options, and their effect on your output.
Grayscale
Selecting the Print in Grayscale option in your printer driver allows your
color documents to be printed as monochrome with shades of gray.  This
setting allows you to view preliminary copies of slides and hard copy output
quickly and still interpret your color information. For example, printing in
Grayscale works well for color information that you wish to photocopy or
fax.  Additional printer options such as halftoning are available in this mode
to enhance your output.

							Matching Colors
The different ways your computer system and printer create color make
color matching a complex process.  For example, your display uses the RGB
(red, green, and blue) color processing system, your software application
may use a different system, and your printer uses the CMYK color
processing system.  Other factors, such as print media and lighting
(fluorescent or incandescent), also influence and limit your ability to match
colors from the screen to your output.  In addition to the printer driver color
controls described in this chapter and the media you choose for printing, the
following tools can help you match your screen display and color output.
Color Swatch
The Color Swatch program will print eight pages of example colors and their
accompanying RGB or CMY values to the printer. This is useful for selecting
or matching colors in applications that allow you to specify RGB and CMY
color values. From the DOS prompt you can specify color type (RGB or
CMY) and the pages you want to print. To print the color swatches, enter
the directory where the SWATCH.EXE program is located, and type
SWATCH followed by the port location of your printer.
Usageswatch output [ColorType] [StartPage] [EndPage]
Parametersoutputprinter port (LPT1, LPT2, etc.)

ExampleThe following will print pages 1 through 3 of CMY values to LPT1:

NoteThe Color Swatch program must be run from a DOS prompt. 
PANTONE®* Colors 
PANTONE®* colors are certified RGB (red/green/blue) color values in the
PANTONE®* color matching system.  This option will affect your output
only if your application supports PANTONE®* colors.  Refer to your
software application’s instructions for using these colors. The color and
halftone settings and the media you use will affect the appearance of
printed PANTONE
®* colors.

Using Type
Introduction
Your HP Color LaserJet 5/5M printer supports many fonts. The fonts you
have will depend on which printer you have, your software, and other
variables, such as network connections or if you use custom fonts.
This chapter contains information on using type with your HP Color
LaserJet 5/5M printer including:
·Installing fonts with HP FontSmart
·Using internal fonts
·Selecting fonts from software applications
·Selecting fonts and typefaces using the control panel
·Printing a list of available fonts
·Interpreting typeface printouts
·Using fonts on a network
·Using custom fonts

							Installing Fonts with HP FontSmart 
The HP FontSmart font utility provides you with an easy way to manage
the fonts you use with your printer.  You can use it to add fonts to or delete
fonts from your Windows system.
HP FontSmart allows you to display the 45 typefaces included with your
printer on your computer screen.  This approximation of screen display to
printed result is known as WYSIWYG, short for “what you see is what you
get.”  HP FontSmart also includes an additional 65 scaleable TrueType fonts
on disk for Windows 3.1 and later.  HP FontSmart tools allow you to install,
uninstall, and delete fonts; print samples of fonts; search for fonts; and sort
fonts by various attributes.
HP FontSmart manages True Type, Adobe Type 1, and bitmap fonts from a
single window using the  convenient “drag and drop”  method.  The
left-hand side of the window displays fonts that can be installed, and the
right-hand side displays all fonts that are currently installed in Windows.
To use a particular font, you will need to install that font in Windows.  See
the HP FontSmart on-line help for more details.
NoteIt is a good idea to install only those fonts that you will actually be using to
save disk space and system resources.  Even though most Windows systems
can handle many fonts with no trouble, you will be less likely to encounter
system problems if you uninstall or delete the fonts that you don’t need. 
To access HP FontSmart from within a Windows application:
·Click on the Font button displayed on your printer setup
To access HP FontSmart from within the program manager:
·Open the group where the HP FontSmart icon was installed when you
installed your printer software.
·Double-click on the HP FontSmart icon.
·For help information, click on Help.
