can be achieved on your printer; it also gives clear information on how close the emulation is to the original spot
color. See Printing PANTONE swatch books on page 78.
Color emulation
Your printer can emulate the color behavior of other devices: RGB devices such as monitors, and CMYK devices
such as presses and printers.
You can set color emulation in the following ways:
●
In the Windows driver dialog: select the Color tab, and Printer Managed Colors.
●
In the Mac OS X Print dialog: select the Color Matching panel, then select In Printer. Color emulation is
supported only by the PostScript driver in Mac OS X.
For a good emulation, the printer needs a specication of the colors these devices can reproduce. The standard
way of encapsulating such information is in ICC proles. As part of the solution, we provide the most common
standards for the dierent devices.
The options are as follows.
RGB color emulation
Your printer is provided with the following color proles:
●
None (Native): no emulation, for use when the color conversion is done by the application or operating
system, and therefore the data arrive at the printer already color-managed.
●
sRGB IEC61966-2.1 emulates the characteristics of the average PC monitor. This standard space is
endorsed by many hardware and software manufacturers, and is becoming the default color space for
many scanners, printers and software applications.
●
ColorMatch RGB emulates the native color space of Radius Pressview monitors. This space provides a
smaller gamut alternative to Adobe RGB (1998) for print production work.
●
Apple RGB emulates the characteristics of the average Apple monitor, and is used by a variety of desktop
publishing applications. Use this space for les that you plan to display on Apple monitors, or for working
with old desktop publishing les.
●
Adobe RGB (1998) provides a fairly large gamut of RGB colors. Use this space if you need to do print
production work with a broad range of colors.
Color management from the Embedded Web Server
Submit Job options
When you send jobs to the printer using the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page, you have the following
color management options.
If you leave an option set to Default, the setting saved in the job will be used. If the job contains no setting, the
front-panel setting in the printer will be used.
All jobs
●
Color/Grayscale: you can choose to print in color or in shades of gray.
