The paper-source drop-down list shows rst the papers that are already loaded in any of the in-trays, then the
rest of the available papers. If you select a paper that is not already loaded, the job will be held in the printer until
the paper is loaded.
The Print button is not enabled until you select a paper from the paper-source drop-down list.
Default color spaces
When a document or image does not specify the working color space in which the content is originally described,
the user can choose among dierent standards. That is, the user can determine how data should be interpreted
by the color management system during the rendering process.
You can set source proles in the following ways:
● In the Windows PostScript/PDF driver dialog: Select the Color tab, and Printer Managed Colors.
● In the macOS Print dialog: Select the Color Option panel, then select Adobe RGB or SRGB as the source
prole.
The standard way of encapsulating such information is in ICC proles. As part of the solution, we provide the
most common standards for the dierent devices.
The options are as follows.
