The ColorSmart II group box controls printing coloration. It has two main modes,
Automatic and Manual, that allows you to choose between factory default coloration
settings and various manually set color controls. Other options allow for grayscale
printing of colors.
Automatic
In this mode, factory defaults, shown below, control ColorSmart. The default values make
up the Automatic setting.

settings is necessary for quick sets.
Manual
To use Manual color, you can make a manual color selection via the Manual Color
Options dialog box (below) or select the "Manual" radio button. When you enter then exit
the Manual Color Options dialog box, the driver compares the manual settings with the
Automatic defaults, and selects the Automatic radio button if they match. If the manual
settings do not match the Automatic setting, the Manual button is selected.
