Color Guide

Color Printing Basics

Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models

All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model produces white.

Note

❐ RGB is also called additive or emitted color. The colors on your computer

screen are produced by varying the intensities of RGB.

Printed color is a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow , which is normally called the CMY color model. When mixed in equal proportions the CMY color model produces black.

Note

❐ CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color . Y our printer uses CMY toner

plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing.

Color Guide

The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta, and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces cyan, for example). The remaining color is the compliment of the color produced (red in this example). Complimentary colors are: red and cyan, green and magenta, blue and yellow.

Printed Color

Your printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model.

Note

❐ Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pur e black,

but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce a muddy or dark brown. Black toner is added to the color model in order to make it possible to produce pure black.

If an image consisted of nothing by cyan, for example, cyan toner would be used by itself and there would be no problem producing the desired color. Full-color printing, on the other hand, required repr oduction of tens of thousands of subtle colors. These can be produced by controlling the relative pr oportions of the CMYK toner particles printed within a unit area.

Relatively dense and light shades of the same color also can be reproduced by controlling the volume of toner in a unit area.

Color Guide

Example of Color Adjustments Using the Printer Driver

The following provides a number of examples to show you what happens when you change the various color settings provided in the printer driver.

Quality Settings Resolution

Resolution is the number of dots the printer can print within one inch. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the printed image. Resolution is expressed in units of dpi, which stands for dots per inch.

Note

❐ Printing at a high resolution takes longer and requires mor e printer memory.

600dpi 300dpi

vii

Toner Saving

Turning on Toner Saving reduces the amount of toner used for printing. This setting does not help to improve printout quality, but instead is used when printing preliminary drafts of a document.

Limitation

• Turning on the Toner Saving can cause output to become blurred and result in very thin lines not printing at all. It can cause colors to be different than expected when printing color.

Color Guide

Color Settings

The colors produced by the printer do not exactly match those you see on your monitor . This is because the computer uses the reflected color model (RGB) while the printer uses the emitted color model (CMYK). For details, see => P.iv “Color Printing Basics”. The color settings provide you with a number of adjustments that you can use to bring printed colors closer to what they look like on your monitor . Y ou can also use these settings to perform color correction, which changes the clarity of the image.

You can change the color settings with the printer driver.

Color Correction

Use these settings to adjust the color correction pattern.

Off Photographic

This setting enhances midtone colors similar to those seen in photographs.

Vivid OHP Transparency

This setting enhances the basic colors for text and graphics. This setting is best for printing tables, graphs, and presentation materials that contain color.

This setting adjusts density to an optimal level for printing OHP transparencies.

Brightness

This setting controls the overall brightness of the image. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side increase brightness, while moving it to the minus (-) side decreases brightness.

-30 0 +30

Contrast

This setting controls the range between the darkest and lightest shade of an image. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side decreases the range and makes contrast stronger, while moving it to the minus (-) side expands the range.

-30 0 +30

Saturation

This setting controls the purity of a color. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side increases saturation and makes colors more vivid, while moving it to the minus (-) side decreases saturation.

-30 0 +30

Color Guide

Color Balance

These settings let you control the relative intensity of the individual colors of the additive color model (red, green, blue).

Note

❐ The position of the color bar also affects the complementary color relation-

ship. Red, for example, is printed using magenta and yellow toner, so increasing the level of red also decreases the level of cyan.

-30 0 +30

Address

❖ Subnet Mask

A number used to mathematically “mask” or hide the IP addresses on the network by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all the machines on the network.

❖ Gateway Address

A gateway is a connection or inter change point that connects two networks. A gateway address is for the router or host computer used as a gateway.

Note

❐ To get the addresses, contact your network administrator. ❐ If you do not know the addresses, please use the default settings.

Access Control Address and Access Control Mask

Access Control Address and Access Control Mask are used to control the IP addresses that have access to the computer used for printing, with the IP address. If it is not necessary for you to control the access right, select “0.0.0.0”.

Note

❐ When the setting of Access Control Addr ess coincides with the masked r esult

of the IP address of the computer, print jobs from that IP address can be accepted by the network interface board.

❐ For example, if you assign 192.168.15.16 as the Access Control Address to the

network interface board, the combination of the Access Control Mask and IP address that can have access are as follows.

Access Control Mask IP Address that have access

0. 0. 0. 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

255. 0. 0. 0 192.xxx.xxx.xxx

255.255. 0. 0 192.168.xxx.xxx

255.255.255. 0 192.168. 15.xxx

255.255.255.255 192.168. 15. 16

4. Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver

Before Installing the Printer Drivers

T o print, you must first install software called a printer driver on your computer. The required printer driver is supplied on the CD-ROM that comes with your printer.

Preparation

❐ Set up the printer and connect it to your computer as described in the “Quick

Installation Guide”.

❐ The procedures in this section assume that the printer is connected to your

printer by a parallel interface cable.

Important

❐ Some applications require their own specific settings, which may be differ ent

from those provided by the printer driver . Be sure to check the documentation that comes with your applications for details.

❐ Considerable hard disk space is required on your computer for printing com-

plex documents.

Note

❐ All of the procedures in this manual assume that you are familiar with general

Windows procedur es and practices. If you are not, see the documentation that comes with Windows for details.

Installing the Printer Drivers

Limitation

❐ The printer drivers supplied with this printer do not support operation

under a system running Windows NT R Series, Alpha AXP, Power PC).

Note

❐ Recommended PC requirements:

• Memory: 32MB or more

• CPU: Pentium

• Free Hard disk space: 100MB or more

Windows 95/98 - Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver

Preparation

❐ Before starting installation, be sure to carefully read the README file that is

on the CD-ROM containing the printer driver.

Important

❐ Never have two versions of the same printer driver installed on your system

at the same time. When upgrading to a new version of the printer driver, delete the old version, and then install the new one.

Normally you can use plug and play to install the printer driver . If your system does not support plug and play, add the printer from the [Printers] window.

❖

Plug and Play

Plug and play automatically makes the required software settings whenever it detects that a new peripheral device has been connected to the computer. Plug and Play operates when the following conditions are present.

• The computer supports plug and play (see the computer’s documentation for details).

• The printer is connected to the computer by a bi-directional interface cable.

• Printer power is turned on first, and then the computer is turned on.
