About Color Printing
The data for all four colors is then transferred onto paper, and the paper passes 
through the fixing unit and is output.
 
Achieving More Beautiful Color Printing
If the color in the print are not as expected, or the image quality is low, or the 
printout takes a long time, the printer performance is halved. By making minor 
adjustments and taking a little bit of care, we can make sure we get 100% out of the 
printer.
Adjusting the color on the display
Colors that you can see on the computer display are not limited to true colors. If we 
perform a color print based on the colors we can see on the computer display with the aim 
of matching those colors, the printed colors will be a little different.
Use the color samples or color adjustment tools that come with the application software to 
adjust the displayed colors to the colors that are actually printed.

About Color Printing
Adjusting the resolution
It does not matter how high the resolution of printing data is, you cannot get better picture 
quality than the resolution of the printer. A resolution of 600 dpi at printer sizes is 
sufficient. If the resolution of print data is too high, print processing will take a large 
amount of time, and the data size will also grow. Conversely, if the data resolution is too 
low, you cannot achieve sufficient image quality.
Check the dimensions and resolution of print data using an image processing application, 
and set the resolution to 300 dpi or 200 dpi.
NOTE
For details on specifying the settings for [Quality], see [Quality] Sheet, on p. 4-37.
Using the draft mode for confirming the text and layout
When checking the contents or layout of a document, print in the draft mode if you want to 
check the text or positions.
NOTE
For details on specifying the draft mode, see [Quality] Sheet, on p. 4-37.

							8-15Windows Firewall

Appendix
Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall is a feature of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and other operating 
systems that protects your computer by blocking unauthorized access over the 
network.
Because of this, you need to configure Windows Firewall to unblock communication 
if you are using the printer with an operating system that is equipped with Windows 
Firewall.
The following settings are required on the print server (the computer to which the 
printer is directly connected) and client computers (the computers that use the 
printer via the network).
IMPORTANT
If you want to copy CAPT Windows Firewall Utility to your hard disk to run it, copy all of 
the files (CNAC4FW.EXE, CAPTRGFW.DLL, and CNAC4FW.INI) from the [WF_UTIL] 
folder on the supplied LBP5000 User Software CD-ROM to your hard disk.
