NOTE:
Not all monochrome printers interpret colors the same way. Printing color
windows using a black and white printer may result in black text on a
black background or white text on a white background. If this occurs, try
changing the background colors to a light color (white) with everything
contained in them dark.
8. Choose one of two commands from the Action menu:
— Save to store your color selections to the network database, or
— Reset to restore the color selections to the NMS default colors.
