Step 2
¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨
Set the Characteristic
Click Set Profile in the ColorSync TM System Profile dialog box,
then select MDP Monitor-D50 from the list displayed, and then
click Select.
Note
D50 in MDP Monitor-D50 indicates the color temperature of the
monitor. General monitors are used at a color temperature of
D93 (9300K), but for color reproduction ability based on human
color sense under a standard source of light, a color tempera-
ture of D50 (5,000 K) is set as a reference by CIE. The ColorSync
TM
characteristic of the MD-1300 printer conforms to this standard.
Step 3

Set the Monitor
Since the ColorSync TM profile is set to MDP Monitor-D50, the col-
ors do not match unless the color temperature of your monitor is
set at D50 (5000 K). The setting method depends on the monitor
used. See the manual for the monitor in question.
Note
Some monitors do not allow the color temperature to be changed.
In this case, open Monitor & Sound in Control Panels and set the
Gamma option to Page-White Gamma. This allows colors similar
to the color temperature = D50 to be obtained.
Note
Once steps 1 to 3 have been completed, the settings need not
be modified unless their contents are to be changed.
