Manual Color Correction applies to RGB and CMYK color conversion table mappings as defined in the Manual
Color menu.
Users may select any of the different color conversion tables for RGB or CMYK:
Color conversion table Settings
RGB
• sRGB Display
• Display—True Black
• sRGB Vivid
• Vivid
• Off
CMYK
• US CMYK
• Euro CMYK
• Vivid CMYK
• Off
Note: The Manual Color Correction setting is not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB
or CMYK combinations. It is also not effective in situations where the software program or the computer operating
system controls the adjustment of colors.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?
Occasionally, users have a need for the printed color of a particular object to closely match a specific color. For
example, a user may need to match the color of a corporate logo. While instances can occur in which the printer
cannot exactly reproduce the desired color, users should be able to identify adequate color matches for the majority
of cases.
The Color Samples menu item can provide useful information in helping solve this particular type of color-matching
problem. The nine Color Samples values correspond to color conversion tables in the printer. Selecting any of the
Color Samples values generates a multiple-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK
or RGB combination is located on each box, depending on the table selected. The observed color of each box is
obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the selected color conversion
table.
The user can examine the color samples pages and identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color.
The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software
program. For instructions, see the software program Help. Manual Color Correction may be necessary to utilize
the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on the Color
Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images),
and how the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations). When the
printer Color Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information; no color conversion is
implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the software program or the computer operating system
adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management. The resulting printed
color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
