There are three methods by which your document’s color can be managed and adjusted:
1. Application Color Management (1).
Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe
Illustrator, and Quark Xpress have their own built-in color management systems. See
page 38.
Most applications do not have these color management features and rely instead on
the printer or operating system.
2. Operating System Color Management (2).
Windows 2000, XP and Vista have Windows ICM Color Management.
Mac OS X has Apple ColorSync.
3. Printer Color Management (3).
When you print your document and modify settings in the printer driver, the printer
performs Color adjustments.

THIS
GUIDE
DESCRIBES
This guide only discusses the printer Color management system.
If you wish to learn more about your application program or operating system color
management, please see the documentation that was supplied with your application
software or computer.
NOTE
Only use one color management system if you want the best results from your
printer.
If you wish to use your printer’s color management system, ensure that your
application or operating system color management is switched off.
Applying color management in multiple places will give unpredictable results.
