Color Management Overview

Xerox 490/980 Color Continuous Feed Printing System

Black Overprint

This option is available for PS/PDF. You can choose whether or not to overprint on the black portion of an input color space, without printing the under-color. The Black Overprint option is available on the Color tab of the Properties window. When this option is selected, the black of the input color space is overprinted.

This is only effective for PS/PDF data and applies only to characters and graphics, not images.

Color Characteristics

Color characteristics are displayed on the Color tab of the Job Properties window. The window is divided for Upstream and Downstream printers. The Upstream refers to the first printer, Downstream is the second printer. If you are using a simplex printer, you will make selections for only the Upstream printer. If selections are made for a duplex configuration printer, selections will need to be made for both the Upstream and the Downstream printer. The following information is pertinent for both Upstream and Downstream printers.

Black & White printing is available in the Color Mode option.

In a Duplex printing mode, both printers must be in the “Not Ready” status before changing to the Color Mode.
