GRAY PROFILE
5-96 SETUP Menu Settings
sRGB
Industry-standard image quality of the general Windows (PC) monitor is applied. If
you are using a monitor that supports sRGB, the printer performs matching for the
colors displayed on the monitor and those printed by the printer to print in colors
close to those displayed on the monitor. The default value is "sRGB".
GAMMA 1.5, GAMMA 1.8, GAMMA 2.4
Adjusts the brightness of the printout results without spoiling the lightest parts and
darkest parts of the data. Specify the setting for this item when you want to adjust
the brightness such as when the colors in the printout result are lighter than those
displayed on the monitor. The greater the gamma value is, the darker in color the
data is printed.
NONE
RGB data is converted into CMYK without applying the RGB source profile.
IMPORTANT
If the printer receives data with a device independent (CIE based) color space
•
definition, its color is processed with the specified settings. Therefore, RGB SRCE
PROF. is not applied by the printer.
If a setting value other than NONE is specified for this item, and if the printer
•
receives a device dependent color space definition that was color-processed by the
host computer, RGB SRCE PROF. is also applied by the printer.
NOTE
Device independent colors are not dependent on any particular device, such as a
monitor, and are meant to be true representations of colors as perceived by the
human eye. These color representations, called device independent color spaces,
result from work carried out by Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) and for
that reason are also called CIE based color spaces.
OFF*, ON
Specifies how gray color data should be processed.
If OFF is specified, the printer reproduces gray color data with the black (Bk) toner
only.
If ON is specified, gray color data is converted into CMYK data by a profile of this
printer. However, gray color data may be reproduced with the black (Bk) toner only
depending on the settings for OUTPUT PROFILE and PURE BLACK TEXT.
