Print in grayscale, Restrict color use, Rgb color (color themes) – HP CM6049F MFP User Manual
Page 161: Print in grayscale restrict color use

NOTE:
Some software programs convert text or graphics to bitmap images. In these cases, setting
the color options for photographs also affects how text and graphics appear.
Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method used for creating gray colors that are used in text,
graphics, and photographs.
Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:
●
Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) using only black toner. This guarantees
neutral colors without a color cast.
●
4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method
produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest
black.
Print in grayscale
Select the Print in Grayscale or Print Color as Gray option from the printer driver to print a document
in black and white.
Restrict color use
This product includes a
Restrict Color
setting. A network administrator can use the setting to restrict
user access to the color printing in order to conserve color toner. If you are unable to print in color, see
your network administrator.
