6. When you have completed your settings, click
Print
in the Print dialogue box. The printer prints
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black in that order as
the print head moves back and forth over the
paper.
Note 1:
If the four ink cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black) are not installed, the error light will flash, and
the printer will not print.
Note 2:
See Chapter 2, ‘Initial Setup’, for information on
installing ink cartridges.
Setting up colour matching option
The printer has the following colour-matching options:
1. OKI DP-5000 Driver mode - This mode provides
unique OKI colour matching. It is the default
mode for colour printing.
2. ColorSync mode - When ColorSync is selected,
the printer performs colour management using
ColorSync™, which is part of the Macintosh sys-
tem software.
Note:
A printer cannot exactly reproduce the colours shown
on a monitor because the printer uses inks to create
colours while the monitor uses light. However, the
printer will try to match the monitor colours as closely
as possible.
3. No Colour Matching - The colour information for
print data is output directly to the printer.
To use ColorSync, follow these steps.
1. Open the
ColorSync™ System Profile
in the
Apple Control Panels and click
Set Profile...
2. Select
DP-5000 Monitor-D50
from the list dis-
played, and then click
Select.
Note:
The D50 in the profile indicates the colour temperature
of the monitor. Most monitors are set to a colour tem-
perature of D93 (9300K). However, CIE sets a colour
temperature of D50 (5000K) as a reference for colour
reproduction based on the human colour sense under a
standard light source. The ColorSync™ profile of this
printer conforms to this standard.
3. Set the Monitor’s Colour Temperature. Since the
ColorSync profile is set to
DP-5000 Monitor-
D50
, the printer and monitor colours will not
match unless the colour temperature of your mon-
itor is set at D50. To set the monitor’s colour tem-
