Setting up colour matching option

The printer has the following colour-matching options:
1. OKI DP-5000 Driver mode - This mode provides
unique OKI colour matching. It is the default
mode for colour printing.
2. ColorSync mode - When ColorSync is selected,
the printer performs colour management using
ColorSync™, which is part of the Macintosh sys-
tem software.
Note:
A printer cannot exactly reproduce the colours shown
38
on a monitor because the printer uses inks to create
colours while the monitor uses light. However, the
printer will try to match the monitor colours as closely
as possible.
3. No Colour Matching - The colour information for
print data is output directly to the printer.
To use ColorSync, follow these steps.
1. Open the
ColorSync™ System Profile
Apple Control Panels and click
2. Select

played, and then click
Note:
The D50 in the profile indicates the colour temperature
of the monitor. Most monitors are set to a colour tem-
perature of D93 (9300K). However, CIE sets a colour
temperature of D50 (5000K) as a reference for colour
reproduction based on the human colour sense under a
standard light source. The ColorSync™ profile of this
printer conforms to this standard.
3. Set the Monitor's Colour Temperature. Since the
ColorSync profile is set to
