Printing: Beyond the Basics 5

Using the printer’s current color defaults

The Use Printer Setting option is available only in the supported drivers. This option sends no color correction information to the printer. It uses the current default in the printer to process colors for printing. The factory default color correction is Automatic. The printer’s default can be one of the following:

■Any option selected in the TekColor Corrections menu on the printer’s front panel.

■One of the color correction utility files sent to the printer.

Using simple color conversions

The following utility files use Adobe’s standard color conversions to tell the printer to pipe colors through as fast as possible:

■Monochrome (MONOCHR.PS): Converts all colors to grays. Use this file with the Fast Monochrome print-quality mode for the fastest possible throughput.

■Raw CMYK Colors (RAWCMYK.PS): Converts all colors (CMYK, RGB, grays) to CMYK colors. Use this file if your application specifies colors as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). This file lets you control the CMYK output of the printer’s colors without using any TekColor color corrections. Use this file with the Fast Color print-quality mode to increase throughput.

■Raw RGB Colors (RAWRGB.PS): Converts all colors (CMY, CMYK, grays) to RGB colors. Use this file if your application specifies colors as RGB (red, green, and blue). This file lets you control the CMY output of the printer’s colors without using any TekColor color corrections. Use this file with the Standard print-quality mode to increase throughput.

Note Refer to the on-line documentation on the printer’s CD-ROM for instructions on installing and using the utility files.
