Tektronix Phaser 350 manual Printing in gray scale, Using the printer’s current color defaults

4Printing: Beyond the Basics

Printing in gray scale

The Monochrome option prints your color image as a monochrome gray scale (shades of gray between black and white). Use this option to print page masters for photocopying in black-and-white.

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 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 what type of output device you want it to simulate:

■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.

■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.

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