PC PRINTING
Colour/Mono
Colour
When your document contains colour and you want to print it in colour,
select this mode. Only generic colours will appear on the printout.
(Unless you also select colour matching.)
Mono
Select this mode if your document has only black and gray scale text
and/or objects. Mono mode makes the print processing speed faster than
colour mode. If your document contains colour, selecting Mono mode
prints your document in 256 levels of gray scale.
Controlling the Colour
To get accurate colour matched output between the monitor and MFC,
the colour data should be adjusted for the MFC before printing.
Colour adjustment is provided by both Windows
®
95 / 98 and this printer
driver. Using this feature, the colour data is adjusted by Win95 ICM or
the Brother MFC-740 printer driver and you can get colours more closely
matching those appearing on the PC monitor.
When you are using a software application that has its own colour
matching engine, turn this setting off. The colour matching system from
that application is then used.
Windows
®
95 / 98 has a colour matching engine called “ICM - Image
Colour Matching” in its Operating System. ICM uses a profile of each
device (monitor, scanner, printer, MFC) to know the characteristics of
individual devices and correct the difference between them. When this is
set to off, the Brother MFC-730/MFC-740 printer driver will do the
colour adjustment. At present, the ICM feature is not supported by all the
monitor and printer vendors and if ICM does not have your PC monitor’s
profile, then ICM cannot work correctly. Moreover, ICM takes a longer
time.
When using Windows
®
3.1, 3.11, NT, this selection is not available.
