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. C Red Complementary Colors Green Blue M Y Method for Expressing Color 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 fixing 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 does not 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 is software that allows you to easily initialize the settings of printers connected to the network. For more details on NetSpot Device Installer, see "Network Guide". NOTE When the printer driver is installed from CD-ROM Setup, the initial settings for the network are performed automatically.
Print Monitor Installer The supplied CD-ROM includes "Print Monitor Installer" that creates a port (Canon CAPT Print Monitor) for connecting your computer to the printer on a TCP/IP network, as well as the printing software (CAPT). For details on Canon CAPT Print Monitor, see "Network Guide". NOTE When the printer driver is installed from CD-ROM Setup, a port (Canon CAPT Print Monitor) is created automatically.
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.
