Phaser 340 Color Printer
Color sampler charts
The printer diskettes and CD-ROM contain color sampler charts
for the following color specification methods:
CMYK
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
RGB
Red, green, and blue
HSB
Hue, saturation, and brightness
PANTONE
®
Colors
The charts consist of colored rectangles and coordinate values.
Print the appropriate chart for your application, and use the
coordinate values (numbers printed beneath each color) to select
colors within an application. For example, your printer can
produce PANTONE-approved process color simulations. Use the
PANTONE Color sampler chart to select the process color values
within software applications that support PANTONE Colors.
If you use an application that specifies print colors using CMYK
values, use the CMYK charts. If you use an application that
specifies print colors using RGB values, use the RGB charts. For
details on printing the charts, refer to the Phaser 340 Drivers and
Utilities Printing Reference.
If you did not receive the color sampler charts, you can download
them from the Tektronix ftp server, the Tektronix Bulletin Board
Service (BBS), or the Tektronix World Wide Web server. Refer to
“Online services” on page 6-2 for information on Tektronix’ online
services.
