Easy color matching
(Ofce colors)
Color matching is the optimum method supplied
for users who frequently use business documents
such as word processing software, spreadsheet
software, and presentation software. Color
matching is implemented for printers using the
colors expressed using RGB colors, which are
used with these software applications.
Color matching is implemented using a special
accelerator (ASIC) that is built into the printer.
When converting the RGB color space print data
to the printer CMYK color space, color matching
processing is applied.
Note
z
This is enabled for RGB color space print data only.
z
If using Windows PCL printer drivers, color matching is not
applied even if [Automatic] or [Ofce Color] is selected
for the CMYK color space print data. In this case, select
"Graphic Pro".
z
If installing ICC prole in Windows, click [Advanced Setup]
in the [Layout] tab, and then select [Disable ICM] in [ICM
Methods].
