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.
Page 117 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.
