Manual Color Correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular
object.
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 application (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. The following table identifies which Color Samples pages to use:
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software application does not specify colors with
RGB or CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the software application or
the computer operating system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the application
through color management. The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color
Samples pages.
What are Detailed Color Samples and how do I access them?
This information applies to network models only.
Detailed Color Samples are pages similar to the default pages of color samples accessible from the Quality Menu
on the printer operator panel or from the Configuration Menu in the printer Embedded Web Server. The default
color samples accessed by these methods have an increment value of 10 percent for Red (R), Green (G), and
Blue (B) values. Collectively, these values are known as RGB color. If the user finds a value on the pages that is
close, but would like to scan more colors in a nearby area, the user can use the Detailed Color Samples to input
the desired color value and a more specific or lower increment value. This lets the user print multiple pages of
colored boxes that surround a specific color of interest.
