Printers that support color connector contain color management memory
locations. These memory locations store color management information,
and are defined by a media combination for ribbon and paper.

For example, if a printer has two ribbon types and two paper types, the
printer might have four memory locations:

•

Commercial paper with a CMYK ribbon

•

Commercial paper with a black ribbon

•

Publication paper with a CMYK ribbon

•

Publication paper with a black ribbon

When you send a job to the printer that uses the media combination for
that memory location, the default connector file is applied if you do not
select another connector file.

Exporting a connector file as a default stores frequently-used color
management information permanently in the printer. This eliminates the
need for individual users to apply color management to their jobs as long
as they use the default media combinations.
