Controlling Color Output with Printer
Drivers
By varying the amount and pattern of the four toner colors
applied to a page, the printer can produce more than 16 million
colors. Use the printer drivers (the software installed with the
printer) to control the color output for text, graphics, and
photographs. The printer drivers enable computer applications to
communicate with the printer and to use all of its features.
Access to the printer drivers depends on the computer system.
For example, in a system using Microsoft Windows, use the
application's Print Setup command to access your printer driver.
For specific instructions on accessing the printer driver, see the
online help files for your operating system.
Note Applications override most printer settings, such as media size,
copies, and media source. When possible, use application settings for
adjustments.
