Xerox Phaser 8400 User Guide

The differences between the way your printer and monitor produce color explain why your 
printed document can look different from what you see on your screen. To compensate for 
these differences, the colors are converted by your printer using image processing. Image 
processing translates your computer file into a printer file. Your printer uses TekColor 
Correction to translate color from your computer to your printer.

The TekColor correction options provide simulations of different color devices. Follow these 
basic guidelines to accurately reproduce the colors you want on your prints.

TekColor correction is the default correction for general image processing. For typical 
business and office printing, select the RGB Vivid option before printing. The sRGB Display 
and sRGB Vivid work best with RGB images.

Select Automatic to let the printer automatically pick the best color correction for elements in 
your document.
