Printed colors are not what you expected
In general
■ Check the printer settings in the printer driver.
■ Try selecting another Color Correction option. Supported printer
drivers provide access to the various TekColor color corrections.
Refer to ÒColor correction descriptionsÓ on page 4-6 for more
information.
■ If you are not using a supported driver and are sharing the printer
with other users on a network, another user may have changed
the printer's default color adjustment setting. Refer to ÒSharing
the printer on a networkÓ on page 6-38 for more information.
■ If you use the driver's Use Printer Setting option and printed
colors are not what you expected, check the following:
■ A selection may have been made in the TekColor Correction menu
on the printer's front panel. These settings change the printer's
color correction setting.
■ A color correction utility Þle may have been downloaded to the
printer. These Þles change the printer's color correction setting.
Refer to ÒSharing the printer on a networkÓ on page 6-38 for
details on how these settings affect prints made from a driver.
■ If you are using a color management system, make sure to set the
printerÕs TekColor color correction to None. Refer to the
documentation supplied with your particular color management
system.
