Using simple color conversions

The following utility files use Adobe’s standard color conversions to tell the
printer to pipe colors through as fast as possible:

Monochrome (MONOCHR.PS

): Converts all colors to grays. Use

this file with the

Fast Monochrome

print-quality mode for the

fastest possible throughput.

Raw CMYK Colors

(

RAWCMYK.PS

): Converts all colors (CMYK,

RGB, grays) to CMYK colors. Use this file if your application
specifies colors as CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
This file lets you control the CMYK output of the printer’s colors
without using any TekColor color corrections. Use this file with
the

Fast Color

print-quality mode to increase throughput.

Raw RGB Colors

(

RAWRGB.PS

): Converts all colors (CMY, CMYK,

grays) to RGB colors. Use this file if your application specifies
colors as RGB (red, green, and blue). This file lets you control the
CMY output of the printer’s colors without using any TekColor
color corrections. Use this file with the

Standard

print-quality

mode to increase throughput.

Note

Refer to the on-line documentation on the printer’s CD-ROM for
instructions on installing and using the utility files.
