Oki C9500 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

Installing MonacoEZmatch™ for OKI® Color Matching Software

MonacoEZmatch is a quick and easy way to control
color. This software builds ICC monitor, scanner and
printer profiles that deliver accurate and consistent color
across devices and for specific media types. Using
profiles correctly will result in a more accurate match to
your printing device.

To better track the availability of profiles that have
been downloaded to the printer, it is recommended

!

that one person do the downloading and be
responsible for notifying other users of memory
location and settings.

Overview

You can use MonacoEZmatch with your OKI color
printer in these ways:

Soft-proofing—working in RGB color space

a. Fine-tune the output of your OKI printer by

creating a printer ICC device profile. The printer
profile created for this workflow should be an
RGB profile.

b. Adjust the output of your OKI printer by editing

already created printer ICC device profiles.

Device Matching

a. Use one of the pre-installed color simulations

selectable from the printer driver:

(1) SWOP
(2) Commercial Press
(3) TOYO
(4) SNAP
(5) DIC
(6) Euroscale

Note: These pre-installed color simulations work

for CMYK colors only.

b. Use your OKI printer as a pre-proofing device on

specialty media, or to simulate another device or
ink standard. To do this:

1. Create a printer ICC device profile for your
OKI printer using the media you intend to use.

2. Link the created OKI printer profile to one of
the pre-installed printing device profiles.

3. Download the linked profile into the hard disk
of your OKI printer.

4. Select the downloaded linked profile from the
printer driver.

Note: These downloaded profiles work for

CMYK colors only.

A scanner is required to create an OKI printer
profile

!

Over time as new media are OKI certified, their
profiles will become available on our website.

Please check periodically for updates.

repair them. MonacoEZmatch is known to generate the
following errors:

Header while point is not D50
‘DEVD’ Tag reserved field is not zero
‘DEVS’ Tag reserved field is not zero
Header creator is not correct

These errors have no effect on the quality of the profiles.

Do not try to repair them.

Creating Profiles

Before you create profiles you should do the following:

1. Determine the CMYK target printing device you
would like your OKI printer to simulate.

2. Choose an appropriate paper stock for your OKI
printer that best matches the color and finish of
the paper stock used on your target CMYK
printing device.

3. Set the OKI printer media settings to
accommodate this paper stock (see Media

Settings

Refer to the online MonacoEZmatch User’s Guide
for detailed procedures to create a printer profile.

in the printer Handy Reference Guide).
