management by
Driver ICM
(Windows only)
Color management is performed by specifying the input profile and the printer profile by the printer driver.
Color management can be performed even if you print data from an application that does not support ICM
color management. If an application supports a color management function, turn it off for printing.
See "Color management by Driver ICM (Windows only)" on page 72.

ICM/ColorSync
Specify the input
profile.
You need to perform color matching with the printer driver before printing. An application needs to support
ICM or ColorSync color management. Since it prints using the color management function of operating
systems, a difference may appear in a printing color between Windows and Mac OS X.
See "Color management by Host ICM or ColorSync" on page 73.

Specify the printer
profile.
The color management is performed by specifying the input profile and the printer profile by the
application. You can select this method when an application supports its own color management function.
Color compensation should be turned off (no color adjustment) in the printer driver. Since neither ColorSync
of Mac OS nor ICM of Windows is used as a color management system, a difference may not appear in a
printing result between operating systems.
