The Information le

The INF le denes monitor resources used by Windows® operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility

with the computer’s graphics adapter.

This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play–compatible and the monitor will work correctly without

installing the INF le. Monitor Plug and Play-compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is VESA

DDC2–compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work

through separate BNC-type connectors or through distribution buers/boxes.

The Image Color Matching le

The ICM les are data les that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color

matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. This le is activated from within

graphics programs that support this feature.

NOTE: The ICM color prole is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Prole

Format specication.

Installing the INF and ICM les

After you determine that you need to update, use one of the following methods to install the les.

Installing from the optical disc (available in select regions)

To install the INF and ICM les on the computer from the optical disc:

1. Insert the optical disc into the computer optical drive. The optical disc menu is displayed.

2. View the HP Monitor Software Information le.
