HP ColorSmart II
HP ColorSmart II is a set of technologies that enables optimal color
output automatically for diverse types of documents.
HP ColorSmart II utilizes object tagging and Standard RGB (sRGB)
color technologies. Object tagging allows optimal color and halftone
settings to be used for different objects on a page (text, graphics and
photos). The printer analyzes the page (what objects it contains) and
intelligently uses halftone and color settings that provide the best print
quality for each object. Object tagging, combined with optimized
default settings, produces great color out of the box.
In the Windows environment, you will find the HP ColorSmart II
Automatic and Manual settings on the Color tab in the printer driver.
Color management options
Print in Grayscale
Selecting the Print in Grayscale option from your printer driver prints
your document in black and white. This option is useful for previewing
preliminary copies of slides and hardcopy output quickly for color
document that will be photocopied or faxed.
Automatic color adjustment
The Automatic color adjustment feature of HP ColorSmart II (the
default setting) optimizes the color and halftones used for each
element in a document. Automatic also provides additional color
options for application and operating systems that support color
management systems. For more information, see your printer driver
online Help.
Note Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing all
color documents.
