Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source

The Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source option determines how RGB colors (as well as Lab
and XYZ colors) are converted to CMYK. The name of this option is meant to be descriptive,
because the option defines the color spaces that are used by the E100 to "separate" the RGB
data into CMYK values.
The two choices available for this option determine whether RGB data is converted into the
full gamut of the copier (Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source disabled) or is first converted
into the gamut of another digital printer or press standard (Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK
Source enabled). This feature helps make one device behave like another for RGB data. For
example, if a high-quality ICC profile is available for another print device, the copier can
simulate the behavior of that device.
Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source is also useful for prepress applications. For example, it
allows you to experiment with the appearance of an RGB scan under different press printing
conditions, without having to convert the RGB data to CMYK data for each condition.
When the desired printing condition is found, convert the file to CMYK, using the same
CMYK/Grayscale Source that you used during the experimentation.
Use the Separate RGB/Lab to CMYK Source print option in conjunction with the
