IBM InfoPrint 1634 User Manual page 96

The user can examine the color samples pages and identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color. The
color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software program. For
instructions, see the software program Help. Manual Color Correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color
conversion table for the particular object.
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 program (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 program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the software program or the computer operating system adjusts
the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program 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
RGB—Graphic
RGB—Image
CMYK—Text
CMYK—Graphic
CMYK—Image
What are Detailed Color Samples and how do I access them?
This topic applies only to network printers. 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 control panel. The default color samples available using this method have an increment value of 10% for red, green,
and blue. If the user finds a value on this page that is close, but would like to scan more colors in a nearby area, the
user 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
