Software and Utilities

The CD that comes with the monitor contains files you can install on the computer:

●an .INF (Information) file

●an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file

●auto-adjustment pattern utility

●additional software for the monitor model

PDF Complete is supplied on this CD and can be installed from the menu.

NOTE: If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can be downloaded from the HP monitors support Web site. See Downloading from the Worldwide Web on page 21 in this chapter.

The Information File

The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.

This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is VESA DDC2–compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.

The Image Color Matching File

The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. The .ICM file contains a monitor color system profile. This file is activated from within graphics programs that support this feature.

NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format specification.
