Setting up General Options
Before you print using a third-party application, you will need to select the appropriate general
and label size options in the printer driver.
Note: Driver instructions apply only to printing via third party design applications. If you are
using Custom QuickLabel Omni, this process is not required.

QL-800 User Guide
Use in-gamut colors - When designing in color, ensure you use colors that are within the
printing gamut. Most design applications will indicate when a color is out of gamut.
For example, in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, out-of-gamut colors are indicated by an
exclamation point icon in the Color palette.
Out-of-gamut colors cannot be accurately printed. There are often colors that can be found
to replace out-of-gamut colors.
If the application supports color management, enable it - Professional design
applications support color management. This option is typically found in the application's
print window.
Open the appropriate printer window based on your version of Windows.
