Color Printing _________________ The printer drivers supplied with this printer provide 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 147 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.

Page 154 Using ICC Profiles a. Not Windows NT 4. Oki Color Matching This is Oki’s proprietary color matching system, and affects RGB data only. • Perceptual settings are best for printing photographic images. • Vivid or Digital Camera settings produce brightest colors.
Page 155 Monitor (9300k) Optimized for printing photographs when using a monitor with a color temperature of 6500K. Digital Camera Optimized for printing photographs taken with a digital camera. This tends to produce prints with lighter and brighter colors. For some photographs, other settings may be better depending on the subjects and the conditions under which they were taken.
Page 156 • Absolute Colorimetric Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc. Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of gamut colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different from paper white, so this may result in color casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image.
Page 157 Under “Color Profiles currently associated with this printer,” you should see the names of profiles that match your printer model. If you do not see any profiles associated with the driver, click “Add…” and locate the ICC profiles for your printer. Windows ICM uses the information in these profiles to convert colors in your documents to colors that the printer can reproduce.
