Color settings
Use the Color Settings page to fine-tune the printed appearance of your cards. Color settings affect how
the printer driver prepares card data to send to the printer, so the changes to color settings affect only the
cards sent from the PC on which you make the changes.
Changing the color settings
Settings that you can change include brightness, contrast, sharpness, and the balance of red, green and
blue. When you change color settings, all the colored features (such as photos, logos, and text) on the
card change.
For some settings and operating systems, the brightness, contrast, and sharpness will affect dithered
images. The following table indicates the operating systems and settings for which dithering can be
affected:
You must change color settings at the PC sending the card. If a PC is connected to the printer through
a network, changing color settings at the administrative or host PC will not change color settings at any
client or user PCs.
Open the Color Settings page
1 Double-click on the printer Printer Toolbox icon. The Printer Toolbox appears.
2 Click the Color Settings tab to display the Color Settings page.
