About Color Printing8-7 Appendix 8 About Color Printing This section describes the fundamentals of colors and the way this printer reproduces colors. The Three Primary Colors of Light and Color The colors that you see on a computer screen are reproduced from the three basic colors red, green and blue. The 3 primary colors of light, which are red, green and blue, can be combined to give white (additive color mixing). A color printer, however, does not use the 3 primary colors of light, but uses the same 3 primary colors as used in paintings to reproduce colors. If the 3 primary colors of paint, C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow) are mixed together, the resulting color is black (subtractive color mixing). White GreenGreenBlueBlue RedRed CC MYMYBlack
About Color Printing8-8 Appendix 8 The three primary colors of light and color are thus in a complementary color relationship. The red in light and cyan in color, green in light and magenta in color, and blue in light and yellow in color complement one another. Method for Expressing Color Creating colors for painting involves mixing the colors on a palette to get a match. In a computer display and printer, it is not possible to mix colors to match in the same way as paints, so colors are reproduced by groups of colored dots. On the computer display, various colors are reproduced by the intensity of three red, green, and blue dots.

About Color Printing8-9 Appendix 8 In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors. Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow). This means that higher resolution color prints are possible the smaller these dots are. About Color Printing In color printing, the shape and color of images are expressed in groups of minute cyan, magenta, yellow, and black dots. Therefore, image data input to the printer is divided into cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The data is reproduced separately on the light sensitive drum for each toner color, and the toner is transferred onto an intermediate transfer medium. Color Bar C M YK K KCMY Rotates 4 times Data CY M Intermediate Transfer Belt Photosensitive Drum The toner color changes each time the intermediate transfer belt rotates. Once the data for all 4 colors has been transferred onto the intermediate transfer belt, the paper is fed through the printer and the page is printed.
About Color Printing8-10 Appendix 8 The data for all four colors is then transferred onto paper, and the paper passes through the fuser 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 Printing8-11 Appendix 8 ■Adjusting the resolution It doesnt 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. ■Selecting a print mode according to the document content Reports and presentation material based on text and simple diagrams and black and white documents that do not use color do not need high image quality and can be printed using normal gradation. By changing to the mode for these documents, high-speed printing can be achieved. To print color photographs and complex illustrations clearly, data is printed with a high level of gradation. By categorizing modes based on the data, data can be printed more efficiently. NOTE For details on gradation, refer to Specifying the Print Quality, on p. 4-56. 200dpi 300dpi 600dpi
NetSpot Device Installer8-12 Appendix 8 NetSpot Device Installer The supplied CD-ROM includes the NetSpot Device Installer, which is a utility that can initialize the settings of a printer connected to the network. The NetSpot Device Installer allows you to easily initialize the settings of printers connected to the network. For detailed information on the NetSpot Device Installer, refer to the users manual included with the network board (AXIS 1611). NOTE Depending on the CD-ROM supplied, NetSpot Device Installer may not be included. If NetSpot Device Installer is not included on the supplied CD-ROM, you can download it from the Canon website.
NetSpot Console8-13 Appendix 8 NetSpot Console NetSpot Console is a utility program for administrating printers that are connected to the network. NetSpot Console allows you to view a list of printers, display a printer map, modify detailed protocol settings, monitor printer states, perform job operations, and configure and view a variety of printer information using a web browser. Refer to the Netspot Console Users Guide for details on NetSpot Console. NOTE You can download NetSpot Console and NetSpot Console Users Guide from the Canon website.
Windows Firewall8-14 Appendix 8 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. If your print server is installed with an operating system equipped with Windows Firewall, you need to configure Windows Firewall to unblock communication between the print server and client computers. This section explains how to use the [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] to configure Windows Firewall to unblock or block communication with client computers. WARNING If you want to copy the [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] to your hard disk to run it, copy all of the files (CNAC3FW.EXE, CAPTRGFW.DLL, CNAC3FW.INI) from the [WF_UTIL] folder on the supplied LBP5200 User Software CD-ROM to your hard disk. Configuring Windows Firewall to unblock communication with client computers 1Insert the supplied LBP5200 User Software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If CD-ROM Setup appears, click [Exit]. 2Select [My Computer] from the [Start] menu, then right-click on the CD-ROM icon and select [Open] from the popup menu. 3Double-click [English], then [WF_UTIL], then [CNAC3FW.EXE]. The [CAPT Windows Firewall Utility] starts. IMPORTANT You can also start the utility by selecting [Run] from the [Start] menu, then entering D:\English\WF_UTIL\CNAC3FW.EXE and clicking [OK]. (In this case the CD-ROM drive is assumed to be assigned to D:. The actual CD-ROM drive letter may be different depending on the computer you are using.)
