with a Color Profile. An ICM Profile for a printer contains

 

information about rendering accurate color information for that

 

device. For further details about making these settings, refer to the

 

next section, ICM Settings.

 

ICM is available in Windows 2000/XP only.

Color Reproduction

If Automatic is set for Color Correction, Color

 

Reproduction settings can be made. Objects within the document

 

being printed are separated into three types; images, text, and

 

graphs. The Color Reproduction mode is matched for each.

 

Reproduction can be closer to the original and more vivid than the

 

colors displayed on the monitor. For further details about making

 

these settings, refer to Color Reproduction Settings on page 82.
