HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP Series - Software Technical Reference

The Print Density pane contains the following settings:
●
Contrasts. Contrast is the density difference between light (highlight) and dark (shadow) colors.
To increase the difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a negative highlight
adjustment and a positive shadow adjustment), use a positive contrast setting. To decrease the
difference between light and dark colors (equivalent to a positive highlight adjustment and a
negative shadow adjustment), use a negative contrast setting.
●
Highlights. Highlight colors are colors that are near white. To make highlight colors darker, use a
positive highlight setting. To make highlight colors lighter, use a negative highlight setting. This
adjustment does not affect midtone or shadow colors.
●
Midtones. Midtone colors are approximately half-way between white and solid density. To make
midtone colors darker, use a positive midtone setting. To make midtone colors lighter, use a
negative midtone setting. This adjustment does not affect highlight or shadow colors.
●
Shadows. Shadow colors are colors near solid density. To make shadow colors darker, use a
positive shadow setting. To make shadow colors lighter, use a negative shadow setting. This
adjustment does not affect highlight or midtone colors.
●
Restore defaults. Resets factory defaults for the Print Density settings on the printer.

A print mode is a special setting that controls the print speed and the fuser temperature of the product.
The product speed and fuser temperature are adjusted to match the print mode selected, which can
result in better print quality when printing on certain paper types.
NOTE: Not all of the paper types that are listed in the printer-driver can be adjusted in the Paper
Types pane.
