Color Management Settings And Job Submission - Oce ColorWave 500 Operation Manual

Color management settings and job submission

The way in which you submit a print job to the printer defines in most cases the file type of the
document. If you use a printer driver, the original file type will be changed by the driver into a
standard file type.
When there is no job ticket or when the job ticket does not include a color management setting,
the printer checks the file type of the document and based on the file type the printer applies the
default color management settings of Océ Express WebTools.
If you use FTP, LPR, Océ Publisher Select or Océ Publisher Express to send a job to the printer,
the file type is not changed. The file is sent to the printer the way in which it was saved in the
application you used to create or edit the file. If there is no embedded color profile present in the
document, the printer checks the file type of the document and based on the file type the printer
applies the default color management settings of Océ Express WebTools.
If you want to use the embedded color profile for your print job (for example, embedded profile
created with Adobe
format Printer Driver 2 for Microsoft® Windows® where you can indicate to follow the color
settings managed by the application. You can also send the job via FTP, LPR, Océ Publisher
Select (choose 'Document's color feel') or Océ Publisher Express. If the controller can recognize
the embedded color profile, it will be applied. If the embedded color profile cannot be recognized,
the controller applies the default color settings managed by Océ Express WebTools.
