Color Optimizer

Color Optimizer is a plug-in feature that lets you match a single color
accurately in a print job. To install this optional component, see the Installation
chapter. Use this feature to print a document that contains only one color
besides black, such as a letterhead or company logo. The color should be solid
and consistent, with no shading. Color Optimizer will not work in a document
with multiple colors or photographs.

In the Color Optimizer dialog box, an eyedropper tool can be dragged into the
on-screen document to select the color, or RGB values can be entered if you
know them. A printed Color Optimizer Table lets you see 121 color variations
on paper and select the desired variation. Hue and Lightness settings are
adjusted in the driver according to the selected variation.

You can specify up to three custom settings that correspond to the custom
settings in the Imaging > Adjustment feature. You can also select a Printer
profile
option.

When installed, the Color Optimizer button appears in the Advanced tab. The
Color Optimizer button will not appear in the user interface when PDF is the
selected PDL or Black & White mode is selected in the Administrator
Settings
dialog box. Color Optimizer is unavailable for the following settings:

Black & White in the Imaging, Basic, or Quick Print tab.

In a client / server environment.
