¾ Select one of the following options:

ˆ

Color: to print the job in color using CMYK.

ˆ

Grayscale: to print the job as black and white using black (K) toner only. 
When a color job is printed using the 

Grayscale option, the cyan (C), 

magenta (M), and yellow (Y) separations are also printed in black (K) toner, 
giving a dense appearance similar to the CMYK grayscale image.

1.

In the 

RGB Workflow list, select the required RGB source profile: 

•

To use the embedded color space array (CSA) or source CSA, select 

SourceCSA.

•

To use a Spire or Adobe CSA, select a CSA from the list. The default option 
is 

AdobeRGB1998.

2.

In the 

Rendering intent list, select the required option.

3.

To print RGB gray text and graphics with black toner only, select the 

using black toner check box.

4. Select

 Apply CMYK emulation to convert RGB elements according to the 

CMYK emulation method selected in the 

CMYK Profile list in the CMYK 

Workflow parameter. The RGB elements receive the same look as the CMYK 
elements, creating a consistent appearance.

The 

CMYK workflow option is used to emulate various standards used in 

lithographic printing. These standards represent specific combinations of paper and 
ink, as well as popular proofing systems. The CMYK workflow is also used to 
emulate other digital printers or other printing devices such as offset presses. An 
example of a CMYK workflow job would be printing a test sample for a survey before 
moving to an offset press to print millions of survey forms. In such a case, it is best 
to emulate the offset before the job actually goes to offset printing. The Spire CX260 
supports the device link CMYK emulation methods.

Note:  If the job contains grayscale images that were created in RGB 
applications, such as Microsoft

®

 PowerPoint

®

, specify as monochrome or 

submit to the system with 

Grayscale selected in the PPD file. This 

selection ensures that grayscale images are counted as black and white 
instead of color in both the Spire CX260 and the Xerox DocuColor 242/
252/260 printer/copier billing meters.

Note:  The 

Print grays using black toner check box not only affects 

R=G=B values but might also cause slightly different values 
(R+/-4=G+/-4=B+/-4) to produce gray.

Note:  RGB colors are not affected by the CMYK workflow.
