GA-1121 Color Management

The Combine Separations options are:

•Off prints each separation individually.

•On combines separations as a single, composite-color document and automatically makes these settings for the following print options: Color Mode (CMYK), Rendering Style (None), Pure Black Text/Graphics (Off), Spot Color Matching (Off), or Black Overprint (Off).

For information about using the Combine Separations option with applications such as Adobe Photoshop, see the Fiery Color Reference.

Toner Reduction

This option minimizes the total amount of toner and reduces effects of toner blasting, offset, or flaking. With the On setting, the maximum combined amount of toner is 240%. The Off setting reduces maximum toner coverage to 280% for Plain Paper and Thin Paper, and 260% for Thick Paper. However, with the On setting, shadow density in a print job may be lighter than that of a job printed with the Off setting.

PostScript printer driver for Windows and Mac OS

To access the printer driver options described in this section, choose

Start>Settings>Printers (Windows 98/Me/NT/2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows XP/Server 2003), right-click the appropriate printer (PPD) name, and choose Properties (Windows 98/Me), Document Defaults (Windows NT), or Printing Preferences (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003) from the pop-up menu. To access the Mac OS driver options, choose Print from the File menu of your application. These settings are also accessible from the Print Setup or Page Setup dialog boxes of most applications.

For Windows computers, the GA-1121 driver interface allows you to save combinations of settings for later access. Additionally, you can choose different settings for individual jobs from the applications you use.

The printer driver writes a PostScript file containing the instructions generated by your application and the GA-1121 print options you chose. The printer driver sends the PostScript file to the GA-1121. The GA-1121 then performs PostScript processing and color conversions and sends raster color data to the print device.
