About Color Printing This section describes the fundamentals of colors and the way this printer reproduces colors. The Three Primary Colors of Light and Color The colors that you see on a computer screen are reproduced from the three basic colors red, green and blue. The 3 primary colors of light, which are red, green and blue, can be combined to give white (additive color mixing).
The three primary colors of light and color are thus in a complementary color relationship. The red in light and cyan in color, green in light and magenta in color, and blue in light and yellow in color complement one another. Red C Complementary Colors Green Blue M Y Method for Expressing Color Appendix Creating colors for painting involves mixing the colors on a palette to get a match.
In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors. Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow). This means that higher resolution color prints are possible the smaller these dots are.
The data for all four colors is then transferred onto paper, and the paper passes through the fuser unit and is output. Achieving More Beautiful Color Printing If the color in the print are not as expected, or the image quality is low, or the printout takes a long time, the printer performance is halved. By making minor adjustments and taking a little bit of care, we can make sure we get 100% out of the printer.
■ Adjusting the resolution It doesn't matter how high the resolution of printing data is, you cannot get better picture quality than the resolution of the printer. A resolution of 600 dpi at printer sizes is sufficient. If the resolution of print data is too high, print processing will take a large amount of time, and the data size will also grow. Conversely, if the data resolution is too low, you cannot achieve sufficient image quality.
NetSpot Device Installer The supplied CD-ROM includes the "NetSpot Device Installer", which is a utility that can initialize the settings of a printer connected to the network. The NetSpot Device Installer allows you to easily initialize the settings of printers connected to the network. For detailed information on the NetSpot Device Installer, refer to the users manual included with the network board (AXIS 1611).
NetSpot Console NetSpot Console is a utility program for administrating printers that are connected to the network. NetSpot Console allows you to view a list of printers, display a printer map, modify detailed protocol settings, monitor printer states, perform job operations, and configure and view a variety of printer information using a web browser. Refer to the "Netspot Console User's Guide" for details on NetSpot Console.
Windows Firewall Windows Firewall is a feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and other operating systems that protects your computer by blocking unauthorized access over the network. If your print server is installed with an operating system equipped with Windows Firewall, you need to configure Windows Firewall to unblock communication between the print server and client computers.
