User Manual 4-9
Special considerations
If your Phaser 380 printer is shared on a network
Another user may use the downloadable color correction utility Þles, or the
printerÕs front panel, to change the printerÕs default color correction setting.
If this situation occurs, the prints you make through a non-supported driver
may not print as expected. Refer to ÒSharing the printer on a networkÓ on
page 6-38 for details on how the color corrections interact with the driver
settings for either supported or non-supported drivers.
Application color corrections
Some applications (such as CorelDRAW!) perform color corrections to
improve screen-to-printer color matching. The TekColor color correction
options in the supported drivers adjust colors in the printer after the
application has performed its color corrections.
■ If the application uses CIE (Commission Internationale de
lÕEclairage) colors, the TekColor corrections will not be applied.
■ If you select a TekColor color correction option in a driver other
than None, the selection may override the features of another
color management system.
■ If you try one of the TekColor color correction options in a
supported driver and the printed results are not what you
expected, then select the None option and try reprinting your
image.
■ Select the None TekColor color correction option in a supported
driver if you are using ColorSync color matching on a Macintosh,
host color correction in Windows 95, or any other color
management system (refer to the printerÕs CD-ROM or TektronixÕ
World Wide Web site).
If you are using an unsupported driver
If you are not using one of the printer drivers shipped with the printer, or
another PPD-driven driver, then use the downloadable utility Þles or the
printerÕs front panel to set the default color correction.
