Image Processing; Adjusting Color Using Tekcolor Correction - Xerox 8400B - Phaser Color Solid Ink Printer Reference Manual

Image Processing

The differences between the way your printer and monitor produce color explain why your
printed document can look different from what you see on your screen. To compensate for
these differences, the colors are converted by your printer using image processing. Image
processing translates your computer file into a printer file. Your printer uses TekColor
Correction to translate color from your computer to your printer.

Adjusting Color Using TekColor Correction

The TekColor correction options provide simulations of different color devices. Follow these
basic guidelines to accurately reproduce the colors you want on your prints.
TekColor correction is the default correction for general image processing. For typical
business and office printing, select the RGB Vivid option before printing. The sRGB Display
and sRGB Vivid work best with RGB images.
Select Automatic to let the printer automatically pick the best color correction for elements in
your document.
