Printing
Using ICM
Follow the procedure below to correct colours using the Windows ICM (Image Colour Matching) function.
ICM is a colour management system that adjusts colours between I/O devices. Use this function to produce print
results with colours as close as possible to those displayed on the computer screen. To use this function, the
colour profile must be added to the printer.
You can find the colour profile in the ICM folder stored on the CD-ROM provided. For information about adding
a colour profile, search for the words "colour profile" in Windows Help, and then see the appropriate topic.
This function is unavailable under Windows NT 4.0.
