Apple 1230, 627 user manual Setting ColorSync preferences

Setting ColorSync preferences

Different devices—scanners, printers, and monitors, for example—reproduce different ranges of colors. ColorSync is a color management system that allows applications and device drivers to produce consistent color across different devices.

ColorSync stores information about various devices in profiles. Profiles are dictionaries that contain color information about a specific device. ColorSync is an Apple system extension. You can switch ColorSync on and off and select the appropriate ColorSync profile for your scanner when necessary.

To set ColorSync preferences:

1With the OneScanner Dispatcher application open, choose ColorSync Preferences from the Image menu.

The ColorSync Preferences dialog box opens.

An X in the checkbox
means ColorSync	Choose your model of the Color
is on.
	OneScanner from this pop-up menu.

2To switch ColorSync on, click to place an X in the Use ColorSync box.

3Choose the scanner model you want to use from the Use Scanner Profile pop-up menu.

If you are using the optional Transparent Media Adapter with the Color OneScanner 1200/30, choose the ColorSync profile for the medium you are scanning:

m Color OneScanner Flatbed for magazines, paper, other opaque originals m Color OneScanner Positive for positive transparencies

m Color OneScanner Negative for negatives

Without the correct profile, you may not be satisfied with the resulting image quality. If you change media, be sure to change the ColorSync profile.

4Click OK to close the dialog box, or click Cancel to leave preferences the way they were.
