You can set source proles in the following ways:
● In the Windows PostScript/PDF driver dialog: Select the Color tab, and Printer Managed Colors.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Select the Color Option panel, then select Adobe RGB or SRGB as the source
prole to emulate an RGB device.
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.
Default RGB source proles
Your printer is provided with the following color proles:
● None (Native): No imitation, 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. Available for PostScript and
PDF drivers only.
● sRGB IEC61966-2.1 imitates 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 imitates the native color space of Radius Pressview monitors. This space provides a smaller
gamut alternative to Adobe RGB (1998) for print production work. Available for PostScript and PDF drivers
only.
● Apple RGB imitates 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. Available for PostScript and PDF drivers only.
● 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.
Default CMYK source proles
You can choose from a selection of CMYK source proles recognized by the printer. The default CMYK prole is
Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647 - 2:2004), available for PostScript and PDF drivers only.
Color management from the front panel
You can color-calibrate the loaded paper type from the front panel by tapping , then Color calibration. See
Color calibration on page 76.
The other color options in the front panel can all be found by tapping , then Default printing conguration
> Color options (they can also be found under Advanced printing preferences).
All jobs
● Color
● Grayscale

● RGB source prole: You can choose from a selection of RGB source proles recognized by the printer.
