COLOUR PRINTING
The printer drivers supplied with your MFP provide several 
controls for changing the colour output. For general use the 
automatic settings will suffice, providing reasonable default 
settings that will produce good results for most documents.
Many applications have their own colour settings, and these may 
override the settings in the printer driver. Please refer to the 
documentation for your software application for details on how 
that particular program’s colour management functions.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE APPEARANCE OF PRINTS
If you wish to manually adjust the colour settings in your printer 
driver, please be aware that colour reproduction is a complex 
topic, and there are many factors to take into consideration. 
Some of the most important factors are listed below.
Differences between the range of colours
a monitor or printer can reproduce
>Neither a printer nor a monitor is capable of reproducing 
the full range of colours visible to the human eye. Each 
device is restricted to a certain range of colours. In 
addition to this, a printer cannot reproduce all of the 
colours displayed on a monitor, and vice versa.
>Both devices use very different technologies to represent 
colour. A monitor uses Red, Green and Blue (RGB) 
phosphors (or LCDs), a printer uses Cyan, Magenta, 
Yellow and Black (CMYK) toner or ink.
>A monitor can display very vivid colours such as intense 
reds and blues and these cannot be easily produced on 
any printer using toner or ink. Similarly, there are certain 
colours, (some yellows for example), that can be printed, 
but cannot be displayed accurately on a monitor. This 
disparity between monitors and printers is often the main 
reason that printed colours do not match the colours 
displayed on screen.

Viewing conditions 
A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. 
For example, the colours in a print may look different when 
viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they 
look under standard office fluorescent lighting.
Printer driver colour settings
The driver settings for Manual colour can change the appearance 
of a print. There are several options available to help match the 
printed colours with those displayed on screen.
Monitor settings
The brightness and contrast controls on your monitor can change 
how your document looks on-screen. Additionally, your monitor’s 
colour temperature influences how “warm” or “cool” the colours 
look.
There are several settings found on a typical monitor:
>5000k Warmest; yellowish lighting, typically used in 
graphic art environments.
>6500k Cooler; approximates daylight conditions.
>9300k Cool; the default setting for many monitors and 
television sets.
(k = degrees Kelvin, a measurement of temperature.)
How your software application displays colour 
Some graphics applications such as Corel Draw or Adobe 
Photoshop may display colour differently from “Office” 
applications such as Microsoft Word. Please see your application’s 
on-line help or user manual for more information.
Paper type 
The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed 
colour. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller 
than one on specially formulated glossy paper.

TIPS FOR PRINTING IN COLOUR
The following guidelines may help you to achieve good colour 
output from your printer.
PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES
Use the Monitor (6500k) Perceptual setting. 
If the colours look too dull, try the Monitor (6500k) Vivid or 
Digital Camera settings.
PRINTING FROM MICROSOFT OFFICE APPLICATIONS
Use the Monitor (9300k) setting. This may help if you are having 
problems with specific colours from applications such as Microsoft 
Excel or Microsoft Powerpoint.
PRINTING SPECIFIC COLOURS (E.G. A COMPANY LOGO)
There are 2 utilities on your printer driver CD-ROM that can help 
match specific colours:
Colour Correct Utility 
Colour Swatch Utility 
ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS OR INTENSITY OF A PRINT
If the print is too light/dark, you can use the Brightness control 
to adjust it. 
If the colours are too intense/not intense enough, use the 
Saturation control.

ACCESSING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS
The Colour Matching options in the printer driver can be used to 
help match your printed colours to the ones displayed on your 
monitor or from some other source, such as a digital camera.
To open colour matching options 
from the Windows Control Panel:
1.Open the Printers window 
(called “Printers and Faxes” in 
Windows XP).
2.Right-click the printer name 
and choose Properties.
3.Click the Printing 
Preferences button (1).
To open colour matching options 
from within a Windows application:
1.Choose File—Print… from the application’s menu bar.
2.Click the Properties button next to the printer name.
SETTING THE COLOUR MATCHING OPTIONS
1.On the Colour tab select Advanced Colour (1) below) 
for Colour Matching.

2.Choose the Manual colour setting (2) and select from the 
following options:
(a)Monitor (6500k) Perceptual
Optimised for printing photographs. Colours are 
printed with emphasis on saturation.
(b)Monitor (6500k) Vivid
Optimised for printing photographs, but with even 
more saturated colours than the Monitor (6500k) 
Perceptual setting.
(c)Monitor (9300k)
Optimised for printing graphics from applications 
such as Microsoft Office. Colours are printed with 
emphasis on Lightness. 
(d)Digital Camera
Optimised for printing photographs taken with a 
digital camera. 
Your results will vary depending on the subject and 
the conditions under which the photograph was 
taken. 
(e)sRGB
The printer will try to reproduce the sRGB colour 
space. This may be useful if colour matching from an 
sRGB input device such as a scanner or digital 
camera.

USING THE COLOUR SWATCH FEATURE
To use the Colour Swatch feature, you must install the Colour 
Swatch Utility. This is supplied on a CD-ROM that you received 
with your printer.
The Colour Swatch function prints charts which contain a range 
of sample colours. Note that this is not the full range of colours 
that the printer can produce. Listed on each sample colour are 
the corresponding RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values. This can be 
used to pick specific colours in applications that allow you to 
choose your own RGB values. Simply click the Colour Swatch 
button (1) and choose from the options available.
An example of using the Colour Swatch function:
You wish to print a logo in a particular shade of red. The steps 
you would follow are:
1.Print a colour swatch, then select the shade of red that 
best suits your needs. 
2.Take a note of the RGB value for the particular shade that 
you liked.
3.Using your program’s colour picker, enter these same RGB 
values, and change the logo to that colour.
The RGB colour displayed on your monitor may not necessarily 
match what was printed on the colour swatch. If this is the case, 
it is probably due to the difference between how your monitor 
and printer reproduce colour. Here, it is unimportant since your 
primary objective is to print the required colour.

USING THE COLOUR CORRECT UTILITY
The Oki Colour Correct Utility is provided on your printer driver 
CD-ROM. You must install it separately since it is not installed 
along with the printer driver.
The Colour Correct utility has the following features:
>Microsoft Office palette colours can be individually 
adjusted. This is useful if you want to change how a 
specific colour is printed.
>Colours can be adjusted by changing Hue, Saturation and 
Gamma. This is useful if you wish to change the overall 
colour output. 
Once these colour adjustments have been made, the new 
settings can be selected from the printer driver Colour tab.
To select adjustments made with the Colour Correct 
Utility:
1.From your application program, click File and point to 
Print.
2.Click Properties. This displays the printer driver options.
3.Click the Colour tab.
4.Click Advanced Colour.
5.Click User Defined.
Select the colour adjustment you made with the Colour Correct 
Utility.
