Auto

Best choice for printing general documents.

Perceptual

Best choice for printing photographs. Compresses the source gamut into the printer's gamut while maintaining the overall appearance of an image.

Saturation

Best choice for printing bright and saturated colors if you don't necessarily care how accurate the colors are. This makes it the recommended choice for graphs, charts, diagrams etc. Maps fully saturated colors in the source gamut to fully saturated colors in the printer's gamut.

Relative Colorimetric

Good for proofing CMYK color images on a desktop printer. Much like Absolute Colorimetric, except that it scales the source white to the (usually) paper white; i.e. unlike Absolute Colorimetric, this attempts to take the paper white into account.

Absolute Colorimetric

Best for printing solid colors and tints, such as Company logos etc. Matches colors common to both devices exactly, and clips the out of gamut colors to their nearest printed equivalent. Tries to print white as it appears on screen. The white of a monitor is often very different from paper white, so this may result in color casts, especially in the lighter areas of an image.

c.Color Control = No Color Matching

Use this option to switch off all printer color matching.

d.Color Control = Print in Grayscale

This option prints all documents as monochrome.
