CMS Option Tool Setup

This section describes the setup of the CMS Option Tool. The CMS Option Tool should be installed on a remote PC where the GUI is also present.

Prerequisites to setting up CMS Option Tool

The following are required before setting up the CMS Option Tool:

•You must be logged in as an Administrator or a user with Administrator privileges.

•Ensure the remote PC being used is connected to the network.

•Resolution of the screen must be set to 1280 x 1024 or greater.

•The remote PC must have at least 300 MB or more of free disk space.

•The GUI software must be able to connect to the Controller.

Color Options

Color options can be selected for an individual job. To view color options for a job, perform the following:

1.Open Job Management.

2.Select the desired job.

3.Select [Properties].

4.Select the [Color] tab.

Any selections made on this color tab are characteristics of the printed output for the desired job. If an option is greyed out, it is not selectable.

Color Resource Set

A color resource set is created at the PC-GUI and is used to transmit color characteristics to the printer for the given job. Options are available in the pull-down menu. Select the System Default if there is no desired set.

Convert CMYK/RGB Black to K

This option is available for PS/PDF. You can choose whether or not to map the black in an input color space directly to the black in an output color space.To convert CMYK/RGB Black to K, select the Color tab of the Properties window. Select the pull-down menu on the Convert CMYK/RGB Black to K option. The black of the input color space is mapped directly to the black of the output color space. It is only effective for K 100% or RGB data.
