ICC/CMS

Some applications and operating systems support specific color
management systems (CMS):

z

ICC (International Color Consortium) is an international standard
for color profiles that describe the color characteristics of devices,
such as printers.

z

ColorSync 2.x is Macintosh's color management system for
System 7 and 8.

z

ICM is Microsoft's color management system for Windows.

For information on downloading and selecting color profiles, see the
online help.

If you are generating customized color profiles, use the same printer
driver settings for both generating the profiles and printing.

Black and White

Selecting Black and White in the Color tab allows your color
documents to be printed as black and white documents with shades
of gray. This setting allows you to view preliminary copies of slides
and hard copy output quickly and still interpret your color information.
Printing in black and white also works well for color information that
you wish to photocopy or fax.
