Colour printing > 50
An example of using the colour swatch function:
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps
you would follow are:
1. Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that
best suits your needs.
2. Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that
you liked.
3. Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB
values, and change the logo to that colour.
The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily
match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case,
it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor
and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your
primary objective is to print the required colour.

The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver
CD-ROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed
along with the printer driver.
The Colour Correct utility has the following features:
> Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually
adjusted. This is useful if you want to change how a
specific colour is printed.
> Colours can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and
Gamma. This is useful if you wish to change the overall
colour output.
Once these colour adjustments have been made, the new
settings can be selected from the printer driver Colour tab.
To select adjustments made with the Colour Correct Utility:
1. From your application program, click File and point to
Print.
2. Click Properties. This displays the printer driver options.
3. Click the Colour tab.
4. Click Advanced Colour.
5. Click User Defined.
