User’s Manual 71 Information Natural Color • Natural Color Software Program One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those shown on the monitor. The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).
User’s Manual Information MouScreen™ MouScreen™ S/W MouScreen Program requires built-in USB for use with SyncMaster Products. (Note: SyncMaster 1200NF does not support MouScreen.) MouScreen is a software program that controls your monitor settings using the USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. All monitor settings, adjustments and controls can be managed by the use of the mouse alone.
User’s Manual Information MouScreen™ Matters to note when changing modes Make sure your MouScreen program is closed before changing the vertical frequency or resolution. Otherwise, the program may not work properly as data stored in the monitor may be different from those in the program. If you close and rerun the program, it will work properly because it reads the modified data. Conflict with OSD In principle, the OSD (on-screen display) does not work when this program runs on the system.
