What is manual color correction?
When manual color correction is enabled, the printer employs user‑selected color conversion tables to
process objects. Manual color correction settings are specific to the type of object being printed (text,
graphics, or images). It is also specific to how the color of the object is specified in the software program
(RGB or CMYK combinations). To apply a dierent color conversion table manually, see
“Modifying the colors
in printed output” on page 534.
If the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, then manual color correction
is not useful. It is also not eective if the software program or the computer operating system controls the
adjustment of colors. In most situations, setting the Color Correction to Auto generates preferred colors for
the documents.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?
From the Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These sets are also available from
the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates multiple‑page
prints consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Each box contains a CMYK or RGB combination, depending
on the table selected. The observed color of each box is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination
that is labeled on the box.
By examining Color Samples sets, you can identify the box with the color closest to the color being matched.
The color combination on the box label can be used to modify the color of the object in a software program.
For more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual color correction may be necessary to
use the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color‑matching problem depends on:
• The Color Correction setting being used (Auto, O, or Manual).
• The type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images).
• How the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations).
If the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, then the Color Samples
pages are not useful. Some software programs adjust the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the
program through color management. In these situations, the printed color may not be an exact match of the
Color Samples pages.
