Using Image Options
The Image Options control the way the printer uses color to produce your document. The Windows
PostScript and the Macintosh drivers provide the widest range of color controls and corrections. Each
system has standard modes of color control for normal use and custom color options for the more
advanced users. Image Options are on the Image Options tab of the Properties window. There, they are
divided into Color Correction, Color By Words, and Color Adjustments tabs. For details on accessing the
Properties window, see Printing Overview on page 70.
The Color Correction tab provides standard color modes:
• Xerox Black and White converts all color in the document to black and white or shades of gray.
• Xerox Automatic Color applies the best color correction to text, graphics, and images. Xerox
recommends this setting.
• Color Correction provides a selection of commercial press, spot color, CIE, and gray image
simulations to match your document color. This tab also provides a Custom Automatic Color option
for advanced color corrections based on RGB Color, CMYK Color, Spot Color, CIE Color, or Gray.
The two remaining tabs provide additional ways of adjusting the colors for more specific color
requirements.
The Color By Words tab provides a three-step process for defining custom color correction. By making a
selection from each of the three fields, you create a sentence for controlling the color characteristics of
the document. You can create several sentences to more precisely control the color content of the
document. As you create a Color By Words sentence, it appears in the window below the selection fields.
The sentence structure is made of three parts:
− What Color to Change? provides a list to select a color or range of colors to adjust, such as All
Foliage-Green Colors.
− How Much Change? lets you select how much effect to make, such as A Lot More, to the
selected color.
− What Type of Change? lets you select the type of change, such as Vivid, from a list.
The Color Adjustments tab provides a set of six sliders for adjusting the individual components of the
selected colors. You can use the sliders to adjust the lightness, contrast, saturation, cyan, magenta, and
yellow components of the color.
