The third and final color matching option for the magicolor 2+ is obtained by utilizing
the QMS Advanced Level 2 functions available though the LaserWriter driver. QMS
Advanced Level 2 color matching allows the user to access the printer's Color Render-
ing Dictionaries, commonly know as CRDs. Listed below are the steps required to
activate QMS Advanced Level 2 color matching.
1
Make sure you've installed the magicolor 2+ PPD and you have the
magicolor 2+ ICC profiles installed correctly on your Macintosh. If you have
not, locate the QMS Software Utilities CD-ROM that shipped with your
printer and install these first.
2
Prepare your document for color printing and access the Print dialog box by
selecting Print.. from the File menu. Once you are in the main print dialog
box, select Color Matching from the General pop-up menu.
3
You will be presented with three pop-up menus once you are in the Color
Matching section. Listed below are the three menus.
Print Color
Intent
Printer Profile
4
You will need to change the Print Color: pop-up menu from Color/Grayscale
to Postscript Color Matching. If this selection is not made, you will not
activate the CRDs that are built into the magicolor 2+ for this type of color
matching.
In the Printer Profile: pop-up menu, you will need to select magicolor 2+
5
from the list of printers. If you do not see the magicolor 2+ listed, you do not
have the ICC profiles installed correctly. With System 8.1, the ICC profiles
are stored in the System Folder within a folder titled ColorSync Profiles.
6
Select Color Options from the General pop-up menu. Set ICC RGB Source to
None, and set ICC Simulation to None. As stated before, only one method
can be used for color matching. Listed below are the options you will need
to set to use the QMS Advanced Level 2 color matching.
