							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.

							Match colors
Matching MFP output color to the computer screen is complex because MFPs and computer monitors
use different methods of producing color. Monitors display colors by light pixels using an RGB (red,
green, blue) color process, but MFPs print colors using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black)
process.
The following factors can influence the ability to match printed colors to those on the screen:
●Print media
●MFP colorants (inks or toners, for example)
●Printing process (inkjet, press, or laser technology, for example)
●Overhead lighting
●Programs
●Printer drivers
●Computer operating system
●Monitors
●Video cards and drivers
●Operating environment (very humid or very dry)
●Personal differences in perception of color
●Variations between RGB and CMYK color processing.
Sometimes colors on the screen do not perfectly match the printed colors. The best method for matching
colors on the screen to the MFP is to print sRGB colors. The MFP uses sRGB and automatically
optimizes color output.
Use the HP ToolboxFX software to print a palette of the Microsoft Office Basic Colors. The palette is
used to select the final color in the printed document.
1.In HP ToolboxFX, select the Help folder.
2.In the Print Quality Troubleshooting section, select Print Basic Colors.
This palette shows the actual printed color seen when the basic color option is selected in the Microsoft
Office application.
For more information about solving issues that are related to color output, see 
Solve issues with printing
color documents.

display.
Change the default media size in the media input tray to match the output size, or part of the copy

Copy edge-to-edge originals
NOTEThe printed or copied page has a border of approximately 4 mm (1/6 of an inch). The
HP Color LaserJet CM1015/CM1017 MFP does not support edge-to-edge printing or copying.
Considerations for printing or scanning documents with cropped edges:
●When the original is smaller than the output copy size, move the original 4 mm (1/6 inch) away
from the bottom and right edges of the scanner glass. Recopy or scan in this position.
●When the original is the size of the desired output, make a copy with smaller edges by:
●Select Reduce/Enlarge, and press the navigation arrows to select Full Page=91%, then
press Start Copy Black or Start Copy Color.
The edges and the copy are reduced in size by up to 2 mm.
