Which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color matching problem depends on the Color Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK combinations). The following table identifies which Color Samples pages to use:

Note: The default values for the Manual CMYK classifications are US CMYK for 100V and 110V machines, Euro CMYK for 220V machines.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software application does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the software application or the computer's operating system will adjust the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the application through color management. The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
