Special considerations

If your Phaser 380 printer is shared on a network

Another user may use the downloadable color correction utility Þles, or the

printerÕs front panel, to change the printerÕs default color correction setting.

If this situation occurs, the prints you make through a non-supported driver

may not print as expected. Refer to ÒSharing the printer on a networkÓ on

page 6-38 for details on how the color corrections interact with the driver

settings for either supported or non-supported drivers.

Application color corrections

Some applications (such as CorelDRAW!) perform color corrections to

improve screen-to-printer color matching. The TekColor color correction

options in the supported drivers adjust colors in the printer after the

application has performed its color corrections.

If the application uses CIE (Commission Internationale de

lÕEclairage) colors, the TekColor corrections will not be applied.

If you select a TekColor color correction option in a driver other

than None, the selection may override the features of another

color management system.

If you try one of the TekColor color correction options in a

supported driver and the printed results are not what you

expected, then select the None option and try reprinting your

image.

Select the None TekColor color correction option in a supported

driver if you are using ColorSync color matching on a Macintosh,

host color correction in Windows 95, or any other color

management system (refer to the printerÕs CD-ROM or TektronixÕ

World Wide Web site).

If you are using an unsupported driver

If you are not using one of the printer drivers shipped with the printer, or

another PPD-driven driver, then use the downloadable utility Þles or the

printerÕs front panel to set the default color correction.
