Controlling The Color; Document - Brother MFC9100C Service Manual

Controlling the Color

To get accurate color matched output between the monitor and MFC, the
color data should be adjusted for the MFC before printing.
®
Color adjustment is provided by both Windows 95/98 and this printer
driver. Using this feature, the color data is adjusted by Win95 and 98 ICM
or the Brother MFC 9100 series printer driver and you can get colors more
closely matching those appearing on the PC monitor.
When you are using a software application that has its own color matching
engine, turn this setting off. The color matching system from that
application is then used.
®
Windows 95/98 have color matching engines called ICM - Image Color
Matching in its Operating System. ICM uses a profile of each device
(monitor, scanner, printer, MFC) to know the characteristics of individual
devices and correct the difference between them. When this is set to off,
the Brother MFC-9100 Series printer driver will do the color adjustment.
At present, the ICM feature is not supported by all the monitor and printer
vendors and if ICM does not have your PC monitor's profile, then ICM
cannot work correctly. Moreover, ICM takes a longer time.
®
When using Windows 3.1x, this selection is grayed (dimmed).

Document

The printer driver will select the most suitable color matching method
depending on your document type. Generally, text and business graphics
are printed vividly and photographic images are printed softly.
Auto
The printer driver automatically selects the document type. In most cases,
we recommend using the Auto setting.
Photo
Select this mode for Photographic images.
Graphics
Select this mode for documents that contain text or business graphics such
as charts or clip art.
Custom
If you want to select the color matching method and halftone method
manually, select this mode and press the Custom Setting button to access
further settings.
