The Information File
The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft
Windo ws operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with
the computer’s graphics adapter.
User Guide 4–7
Operating the Monitor
This monitor is Windows Plug and Play compatible and the
monitor will work correctly without installing the .INF file.
Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s
graphic card is VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor
connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not
work through separate BNC type connectors or through
distribution buf fers/box es. You may need to install the .INF file if
these conditions are not met.
The Image Color Matching File
The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with
graphics programs to provide consistent color matching from
monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. The
.ICM file contains a monitor color system profile. This file is
activated from within graphics programs that support this feature.
The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the
✎
International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format
specification.
Installing the .INF and .ICM Files
After you determine that you need to update, you can install the
.INF and .ICM files from the CD or download them.
Installing from the CD
To install the .INF and .ICM files on the computer from the CD:
1. Insert the CD in the computer CD-ROM dri ve. The CD menu
displays.
2. View the “INF and ICM Readme” file.
3. Select “Install INF and ICM Files.”
4–8 User Guide

Plug and Play
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities
according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor
to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the
level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its
display capabilities.
User Guide 4–9
Operating the Monitor
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C
protocol. The host can request EDID information over the
DDC2B channel.
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTION AL
IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR
THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST
BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the
Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The
Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is
designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power
consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When
there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out
period, will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces
the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video
input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is
automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen
Saver" feature except the display is completely of f. The display is
restored by pressing a key on the ke yboard, or clicking the mouse.

Entering User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that
is not preset if:
■ You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
■ You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can
be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The
monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the
new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 15
factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be
entered and stored.
