Macintosh OS 9.x Operation The printer driver supplied provides several controls for altering 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. Please refer to the documentation for your software application for details on how that particular program’s color management functions.
• A monitor can display very vivid colors such as intense reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (some yellows for example), that can be printed, but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This disparity between monitors and printers is often the main reason that printed colors do not match the colors displayed on screen. Viewing conditions A print can look very different under different lighting conditions.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor: • 5000k* Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in graphics arts environments. • 6500k Cooler; approximates daylight conditions. • 9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors and television sets. *k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature 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.
Choosing a Color Matching Method There is no one 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.
RGB or CMYK If you are printing photographic images from a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop, you may be able to use Soft-Proofing to simulate the printed image on your monitor. 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 (For instance, a Company logo.) RGB only • Oki Color Matching, and the sRGB setting. • PostScript Color Matching using the Absolute Colorimetric option.
Oki Driver Options This section describes only the OKI-supplied driver selections. Color Option 1. To access Color Option, first select your desired printer from an application using File → Print. 2. Then open the drop-down menu directly underneath the printer and select Color Option. ES 1220n Macintosh OS 9.
Color Control The Color Control option allows you to determine the scheme in which the printer will display colors. 1. Select the option desired. OKI Color Matching This is OKI’s proprietary color matching system and affects RGB data only. This is the default setting and provides the fastest, best color matching for your printer. Postscript Color Matching This uses PostScript Color Rendering Dictionaries built-in to the printer, and affects both RGB and CMYK data.
Monitor(6500k) Auto The default setting that selects the best options for your printer. This selection works best for office situations. Monitor (6500k) Perceptual Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color temperature of 6500K, This is best for printing photographic images. Monitor (6500k) Vivid Optimized for printing bright colors when using a monitor with a color temperature of 6500K. Ideal for office graphics and text.
1. Select the option desired. Auto The default. Auto uses the optimum settings for a general office environment. Perceptual Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut into the printer's gamut while maintaining the overall appearance of an image. This may change the overall appearance of an image as all the colors are shifted together. Saturation Best choice for printing bright & saturated colors if you don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are.
Color Simulation This affects CMYK output only and is usually used in offset printer environments only. This option simulates what the output will look on a printing press using the ink types SWOP, Euroscale or Japan. If using CMYK Ink Simulation, it is recommended that you switch off all other Printer Color Matching by selecting the No Color Matching option under the Color Match option in the printer driver. 1. Select the option desired. Black Finish This setting determines Black Toner usage only.
Separations This option affects output only, allowing you to print all colors or separate plates. 1. Select the option desired. NOTE You must select a non-generic PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for a printer that supports color separations. Custom Gamma Adjustment NOTE This option requires the installation and use of the Storage Device Manager (SDM) utility. See the SDM section (page 196) for further instructions.
