Color management
Color management defines the range of colors that can be printed. The printer software
translates the colors of the photo from the current color settings to the color management
option that is selected.
Follow these steps to select a color management option:
1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Color tab.
3. Click one of the following options in the Color management drop-down list:
– ColorSmart/sRGB: ColorSmart/sRGB is an appropriate option for most print
jobs. It is used for most Web-based documents and current imaging devices.
– AdobeRGB: When using AdobeRGB to print from a professional software
program, turn off the color management in the program and allow the printer
software to manage the color space. Use the AdobeRGB setting for photos that
were originally created in the AdobeRGB color space.
– Managed by application: Use this option to allow the program from which you
are printing to manage the color of the photo.
4. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.
