HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP Series - Software Technical Reference

Paper selection
For the best color and image quality, select the appropriate paper type from the software product menu
or from the printer-driver.
Color options
Color options automatically provide optimal color output. The printer-driver determines which objects
appear on a page and uses half-tone and color settings that provide the best print quality for each object.
In the Windows environment, the Automatic and Manual color options are on the Color tab in the
printer-driver.
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB)
Standard red-green-blue (sRGB) is a worldwide color standard that HP and Microsoft developed as a
common color language for monitors, input devices (such as scanners and digital cameras), and output
devices (such as printers and plotters). It is the default color space used for HP products, Microsoft
operating systems, the World Wide Web, and most office software. The sRGB standard represents the
typical Windows monitor and is the convergence standard for high-definition television.
NOTE: Factors such as the type of monitor that you use and the lighting of the room in which you use
the computer can affect the appearance of colors on your screen. For more information see
Match colors
on page 26.
The latest versions of Adobe PhotoShop, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Office, and many other programs use
sRGB to communicate color. Because it is the default color space for Microsoft operating systems, sRGB
has been broadly adopted. When programs and products use sRGB to exchange color information,
most users experience greatly improved color matching.
The sRGB standard improves your ability to automatically match colors between the product, the
computer monitor, and other input products, and eliminates the need to become a color expert.
