Phaser 300X Color Printer

Color correction

The printer provides TekColor Dynamic Correction, which consists of these
color correction modes (Vivid Color, Simulate Display, SWOP, Euroscale,
Commercial, SNAP, and Use Printer Settings). You can select these modes in
one of these ways:

Using a printer driver or a utility file.

For details on making color corrections through a printer
driver or a utility file, refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities
Printing Reference
.

Using the PhaserMatch application (requires Extended Features option).

If you have created custom profiles with the PhaserMatch
application, selecting PhaserMatch from the list of color
corrections generates a list of the custom profiles from which to
choose. Refer to the PhaserMatch User Manual for details.

Using the color correction switches on the printer’s rear panel.

The Phaser 300X allows you to make color corrections with rear
panel Switches 8 and 9. Make sure that you have selected Use
Printer Setting

in the driver. The combinations of these two

switches have the following effect:

Note

If your printer is on a network and you have changed rear panel
Switches 8 or 9, make sure you tell other users on the network
since the switches affect all prints made with the Use Printer
Setting

option in the drivers. The NVRAM setting can be

changed when both switches are up, by sending one of the utility
files from the CD-ROM.
