Colour Printing > 122

The printer drivers supplied with your MFP provide several 
controls for changing the colour output. For general use the 
automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default 
settings that will produce good results for most documents.

Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may 
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the 
documentation for your software application for details on how 
that particular program’s colour management functions.

If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer 
driver, please be aware that colour reproduction is a complex 
topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration. 
Some of the most important factors are listed below.

Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing 
the full range of colours visible to the human eye. Each 
device is restricted to a certain range of colours. In 
addition to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the 
colours displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.

Both devices use very different technologies to represent 
colour. A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) 
phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta, 
Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.

A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense 
reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on 
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain 
colours, (some yellows for example), that can be printed, 
but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This 
disparity between monitors and printers is often the main 
reason that printed colours do not match the colours 
displayed on screen.
