Image Color Management settings
Image Color Management (ICM) options are used for printing color graphics. The ICM options make it
possible for programs to adjust colors before printing so that the color of images on the screen more
closely matches the color of printed images. The following options are available:
●
ICM Method. The ICM Method setting specifies how to print color graphics. The default setting for
ICM Method is ICM Disabled. The ICM Method drop-down menu includes the following options:
◦
ICM Handled by Host System. Click this option to perform calculations for color matching
on the host computer before sending the document to the product.
◦
ICM Handled by Printer. Click this option to perform calculations for color matching on the
product. A set of rules for mapping the colors is created and downloaded to the product. The
product uses these rules to adjust colors in the document.
●
ICM Intent. The ICM Intent setting specifies how color images are created to produce the best-
looking image on the printed page.
◦
If printing a chart or using fully saturated, bright colors, click Graphics to achieve the best
quality.
◦
For photographs or pictures where the colors blend together, click Pictures to maximize the
contrast.
◦
If the document uses a color that you must exactly match and you are sending the document
to a product that has that specific color of ink, click Proof.
◦
To preview the color settings from another printer, click Match.
TrueType Font settings
The following settings are available:
●
Substitute with Device Font. This setting causes the product to use equivalent fonts for printing
documents that contain TrueType fonts. This permits faster printing; however, special characters
that the product font does not support might be lost. This is the default setting.
●
Download as Softfont. This setting causes TrueType fonts to be downloaded and used for
printing, instead of the fonts that are installed through the product.

default, which is Enabled. If compatibility problems occur, disable the feature. However, some advanced
printing features might still be available in the printer-driver, even if they have been disabled. If you select
