OKI 1624n MFP Manuel D’Utilisation

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

Many applications have their own color 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 color management functions.

If you wish to manually adjust the color settings in your printer driver, 
please be aware that color 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 colors visible to the human eye. Each device is restricted to 
a certain range of colors. In addition to this, a printer cannot 
reproduce all of the colors displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.

• Both devices use very different technologies to represent color. 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 colors such as intense reds and 

blues and these cannot be easily produced on any printer using 
toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain colors, (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 colors do not match the colors displayed on 
screen.
