To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour 
Swatch Utility. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that was supplied 
with your printer.

The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range 
of sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours 
that the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour are 
the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be 
used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to 
choose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatch 
button (1) and choose from the options available.

You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps 
you would follow are:

Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that 
best suits your needs. 

Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that 
you liked.

Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB 
values, and change the logo to that colour.

The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily 
match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case, 
it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor 
and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your 
primary objective is to print the required colour.
