3.Setting print conditions
Open the print data file and select [Print] from the [File] menu. The following screen appears:
•Number of copies
Specify the number of copies you plan to print. The maximum number of copies is 50.
•Page
Specify the range of pages to print. You can select all pages, or specify a range using page numbers.
4.Setting image processing options
Click the [Image processing] button on the print condition setup screen.
The following screen appears:
•Brightness
Adjust the print density. Settings toward the right (plus direc- tion) result in lighter prints, while settings toward the left (mi- nus direction) result in darker prints.
•Contrast
Adjust the print contrast. Settings toward the right (plus direc- tion) produce higher contrast, while settings toward the left (minus direction) produce lower contrast.
•Color balance (Red/Green/Blue)
Adjust color balance for prints. Settings toward the right (plus direction) result in higher print density of the color specified, while settings toward the left (minus direction) result in lower print density of the color specified.
•Image process
Select a
ON1 (CG): | Performs color conversions suitable for print- |
| ing |
| graphics. |
| Intended for monitors having color tempera- |
| tures of 9300K*1 and γ 2.2*2. |
ON2 (Photo): | Produces somewhat softer prints. |
| Intended for monitors having color tempera- |
| tures of 6500K and γ 1.8. |
ON3 (sRGB): | Suitable for printing with an sRGB*3 moni- |
| tor. |
| As compared with ON1 setting, ON3 setting |
| enables to print saturated colors lower in |
| brightness and higher in saturation. |
ON4 : | A |
(PG3000 OFF) | produces results close to that obtained with |
| PICTROGRAPHY3000 color matching |
| function set to “OFF”. |
OFF: | Disable printer color matching. |
| With this option selected, gray reproduction |
| is determined by settings for [Gray balance]. |
•Gray balance
Select gray gradation and color balance, if Image process is set to OFF.
Gray1: | Suitable for printing with monitors having |
(2.2/9300) | color temperatures of 9300K and γ 2.2. |
Gray2: | Suitable for printing with monitors having |
(1.8/6500) | color temperatures of 6500K and γ 1.8. |
Gray3 (sRGB): | Suitable for printing with an sRGB monitor. |
*1 Color : | The color of a light source is indicated in |
| temperature [Kelvin degrees (K)]. The higher |
| the temperature is, the more the color of a |
| light source is bluish. The lower the tempera- |
| ture is, the more the color of a light source is |
| reddish. |
*2 γ (gamma): | This shows reproduction of color tone using |
| figures. The larger the γ rating is, the more |
| the color is contrasty. The smaller the γ rat- |
| ing is, the more the color is softer. |
*3 sRGB: | This is adopted as the standard RGB color |
| base. |
