How Can I Match A Particular Color (Such As A Corporate Logo); What Are Detailed Color Samples And How Do I Access Them - Olivetti d-Color MF920 Service Manual

How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?

From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These are also available from the
Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates a multiple-page printout
consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or RGB combination is located on each box, depending
on the table selected. The observed color of each box is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination
labelled on the box through the selected color conversion table.
To print Color samples from the printer:
1.
press Menu (
2.
Select Settings, and press Select (
3.
Select Quality, and press Select (
4.
Select Color Samples, and press Select (
5.
Select the Color Conversion table to print, and press Select (
By examining Color Samples sets, a user can identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color.
The color combination labelled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software
program. For more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual color correction may be
necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on the Color
Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images),
and how the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations). When the
printer Color Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information; and no color
conversion is implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or
CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist in which the software program or the computer
operating system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management.
The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.

What are detailed Color Samples and how do I access them?

Detailed Color Samples sets are available only through the Embedded Web Server of a network printer. A
detailed Color Samples set contains a range of shades (displayed as colored boxes) that are similar to a user-
defined RGBor CMYK value. The likeness of the colors in the set are dependent on the value entered in the
RGB or CMYK Increment box.
To access a detailed Color Samples set from the Embedded Web Server:
1.
Open a Web browser.
2.
In the address bar, type the network printer IP address.
3.
Click Configuration.
4.
Click Color Samples.
5.
Click Detailed Options to narrow the set to one color range.
6.
When the Detailed Options page appears, select a color conversion table.
7.
Enter the RGB or CMYK color number.
8.
Enter an Increment value from 1–255.
Note: The closer the value is to 1, the narrower the color sample range will appear.
