Controlling the Color

To get accurate color matched output between the monitor and MFC, the color data should be adjusted for the MFC before printing.

Color adjustment is provided by both Windows® 95/98 and this printer driver. Using this feature, the color data is adjusted by Win95 and 98 ICM or the Brother MFC 9100 series printer driver and you can get colors more closely matching those appearing on the PC monitor.

When you are using a software application that has its own color matching engine, turn this setting off. The color matching system from that application is then used.

Windows® 95/98 have color matching engines called ICM - Image Color Matching in its Operating System. ICM uses a profile of each device (monitor, scanner, printer, MFC) to know the characteristics of individual devices and correct the difference between them. When this is set to off, the Brother MFC-9100 Series printer driver will do the color adjustment. At present, the ICM feature is not supported by all the monitor and printer vendors and if ICM does not have your PC monitor’s profile, then ICM cannot work correctly. Moreover, ICM takes a longer time.

When using Windows® 3.1x, this selection is grayed (dimmed).

Document

The printer driver will select the most suitable color matching method depending on your document type. Generally, text and business graphics are printed vividly and photographic images are printed softly.

Auto

The printer driver automatically selects the document type. In most cases, we recommend using the Auto setting.

Photo

Select this mode for Photographic images.

Graphics

Select this mode for documents that contain text or business graphics such as charts or clip art.

Custom

If you want to select the color matching method and halftone method manually, select this mode and press the Custom Setting button to access further settings.
