Chapter 1 – Major Functions and Operations

Step 2¨ Set the Characteristic

Click Set Profile in the ColorSyncTM System Profile dialog box, then select MDP Monitor-D50 from the list displayed, and then click Select.

Note

D50 in MDP Monitor-D50 indicates the color temperature of the monitor. General monitors are used at a color temperature of D93 (9300K), but for color reproduction ability based on human color sense under a standard source of light, a color tempera- ture of D50 (5,000 K) is set as a reference by CIE.The ColorSyncTM characteristic of the MD-1300 printer conforms to this standard.

Step 3¨ Set the Monitor

Since the ColorSyncTM profile is set to MDP Monitor-D50, the col- ors do not match unless the color temperature of your monitor is set at D50 (5000 K). The setting method depends on the monitor used. See the manual for the monitor in question.

Note

Some monitors do not allow the color temperature to be changed. In this case, open Monitor & Sound in Control Panels and set the Gamma option to Page-White Gamma.This allows colors similar to the color temperature = D50 to be obtained.

Note

Once steps 1 to 3 have been completed, the settings need not be modified unless their contents are to be changed.
