sRGB Industry-standard image quality of the general Windows (PC) monitor is applied. If you are using a monitor that supports sRGB, the printer performs matching for the colors displayed on the monitor and those printed by the printer to print in colors close to those displayed on the monitor.
Page 283 EURO STANDARD This is for obtaining a printout closely matching the printing standard in Europe. IMPORTANT If the printer receives data with a device independent (CIE based) color space deﬁnition, its color is processed with the speciﬁed settings. Therefore, CMYK PROFILE is not applied by the printer.
Page 284: Pure Black Text
If SATURATION is speciﬁed, the printer performs matching giving priority to color intensity. If COLORIMETRIC is speciﬁed, the printer performs matching so that the difference in color of a logo, etc. between the original print data on screen and the printed paper is minimized.
Page 285: Black Overprint
BLACK OVERPRINT ON*, OFF Speciﬁes the printing method for when the printer prints black text over a color background or graphics.

Remedy 1 Adjust the colors in the application and print again. (See the instruction manual supplied with your application) Remedy 2 Make the lines bold or use a bold font for the text, then print again.
Page 461 The back of the printed paper has smudge marks. Cause The size of the print data was larger than that of the loaded paper. Remedy Check if the size of the print data matches that of the loaded paper. Square areas that cannot be seen on the display appear around lines or text and are printed in a different color from the other areas.
Page 462 Remedy 5 If you are using the PS printer driver, set B & W HALFTONES (See p. 5-100) or COLOR HALFTONES (See p. 5-101) in the PS options to ERR DIFFUSION, RESOLUTION, or GRADATION. Also, you can specify the same setting in the PS printer driver. For more details, see Help of the PS printer driver.
Page 463 Gradation in the black or gray parts of the image does not appear smooth (the color changes stand out). Cause Data in black or gray was printed with the setting for RGB PURE BLACK enabled. Remedy Set RGB PURE BLACK (See p. 5-98) in the PS options to OFF. Also, you can specify the same setting in the PS printer driver.
