Lexmark 22Z0000 User Manual page 239

Selecting which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color-matching problem depends on the Color Correction
setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the
color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK combinations). When the printer Color
Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information; no color conversion is implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software application does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the software application or the computer operating system
adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the application through color management. The resulting printed
color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
The following table can help identify which Color Sample pages to use for color matching.
Color specification and object to be
printed
RGB—Text

What are Detailed Color Samples and how do I access them?
These pages require the use of the Embedded Web Server. The Embedded Web Server is a series of resident pages
stored in the network printer firmware. To access these pages, browse to the IP address of the network printer. Click
Configuration Menu, and then click Detailed Color Samples.
For more information about using the Embedded Web Server, see the User's Guide on the Software and
Documentation CD.
Detailed Color Samples are pages similar to the default pages of color samples accessible from the Quality menu
using the printer control panel. The default color samples available using this method have an increment value of
10% for red, green, and blue. If you find a value on this page that is close, but would like to scan more colors in a
nearby area, then you can use the Detailed Color Samples to select the desired color values and a more specific
increment. This provides a way to print multiple pages of colored boxes that surround a specific color of interest.
There are nine conversion tables available with the following three options:
•
Print—Prints the default pages
•
Detailed—Lets you enter individual red, green, and blue values and a specific increment of color
•
Reset—Lets you clear the existing information and enter new values
