    Natural Color 
 
Natural Color Software Program
 
 
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 system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the 
monitor the same as the printed or scanned images.  
For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.  
How to install the Natural Color software  
Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial 
screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen 
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 [Start] button of Windows and then select [Execute].  
Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the  key.  
(If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.) 
How to delete the Natural Color software program  
Select  Setting/Control Panel  on the 
Start menu and then double-click 
Add/Delete a 
program . 
Select Natural Color from the list and then click the  Add/Delete button.
