Printed colors are not what you expected

In general

Check the printer settings in the printer driver.

Try selecting another Color Correction option. Supported printer drivers provide access to the various TekColor color corrections. Refer to ÒColor correction descriptionsÓ on page 4-6 for more information.

If you are not using a supported driver and are sharing the printer with other users on a network, another user may have changed the printer's default color adjustment setting. Refer to ÒSharing the printer on a networkÓ on page 6-38 for more information.

If you use the driver's Use Printer Setting option and printed colors are not what you expected, check the following:

A selection may have been made in the TekColor Correction menu on the printer's front panel. These settings change the printer's color correction setting.

A color correction utility Þle may have been downloaded to the printer. These Þles change the printer's color correction setting.

Refer to ÒSharing the printer on a networkÓ on page 6-38 for details on how these settings affect prints made from a driver.

If you are using a color management system, make sure to set the printerÕs TekColor color correction to None. Refer to the documentation supplied with your particular color management system.
