Using Image Options

The Image Options control the way the printer uses color to produce your document. The Windows
PostScript and the Macintosh drivers provide the widest range of color controls and corrections. Each
system has standard modes of color control for normal use and custom color options for the more
advanced users. Image Options are on the Image Options tab of the Properties window. There, they are
divided into Color Correction, Color By Words, and Color Adjustments tabs. For details on accessing the
Properties window, see
The Color Correction tab provides standard color modes.
Xerox Black and White: This feature converts all color in the document to black and white or shades of

The Color By Words tab provides a three-step process for defining custom color correction. By making a

the document. You can create several sentences to more precisely control the color content of the
document. As you create a Color By Words sentence, it appears in the window below the selection fields.
There are three parts to the sentence structure.

Foliage-Green Colors.
• How Much Change?: Lets you select how much effect to make to the selected color.
What Type of Change?: Lets you select the type of change, such as Vivid, from a list.

The Color Adjustments tab provides a set of six sliders for adjusting the individual components of the
selected colors. You can use the sliders to adjust the lightness, contrast, saturation, cyan, magenta, and
yellow components of the color.
