WINDOWS 95/98

About Color Control Options

During the PostScript 3 for Windows 95/98 driver installation, you have the option of installing a driver using Microsoft Image Color Matching (ICM) technology or a driver using NEC’s color matching method. The driver using NEC’s color matching method is the default and recommended driver.

The ICM based driver calibrates the colors with those actually seen on the print client’s monitor. The NEC based driver calibrates the colors with those described by the NEC Color Table located inside the printer.

The choice can be made when the Select Components dialog box appears during installation. Simply highlight the Printer Drivers Win95 item, then click Change to open the Select Subcomponents dialog box. The ICM based driver can be selected there. However, when the ICM based driver is installed, you can still choose between ICM based or NEC’s color matching printing methods from the Color Control options located in the Graphics tab of the driver.
