administration system developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Elec­tronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). This system is available only for
Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the monitor the same as the printed
or scanned images. For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.

Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial
screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen
to install the Natural Color software.

To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the
CD-ROM Drive, click the [Start] button of Windows and then select [Run...]. Enter D:\color
\NCProSetup.exe and then press the [Enter] key. (If the drive where the CD is inserted is not
