Color Printing The printer driver supplied with this printer provides several controls for changing the color output of your printer. For general use the Auto settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents. Many applications have their own color settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver.
Viewing conditions A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under standard office fluorescent lighting. Printer driver color settings The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a print. There are several options available to help match the printed colors with those displayed on screen.
How Your Software Application Displays Color Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe® Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s on-line help or user manual for more information. Paper Type The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one on specially formulated glossy paper.
CHOOSING A COLOR MATCHING METHOD There is no correct way to achieve a good match between the document displayed on your monitor, and its printed equivalent. There are many factors involved in achieving accurate and reproducible color. The following guidelines may help in achieving good color output from your printer. There are several suggested methods, depending on the type of document you are printing. NOTE These suggestions are for guidance only.

To do this, you can use the ICC-Profiles provided by Oki, and then print using the ICC profiles as the Print Space (or Output space). Matching Specific Colors (e.g.
