 Natural Color 
 
Natural Color 
 
One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a 
printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those 
shown on the monitor.  
The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system 
developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics & 
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). 
This is only available for Samsung monitors and ensures that the color of the images on the 
 
						

							monitor are the same as the printed or scanned images.  
For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.  
Installing the Natural Color Software 
Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. The initial Natural 
Color screen will appear. Click on Natural Color in the startup window to install the Natural 
Color software. 
To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-
ROM Drive, click the Windows [Start] button, select [Run...].  
Enter D:\color\NCProsetup.exe and then press the  key.  
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.) 
Uninstalling the Natural Color Software Program 
Select 
Setting/Control Panel on the 
Start menu and then double-click 
Add/Delete a 
program.
