2 Prepare your document for color printing and access the Print dialog box by
selecting Print.. from the File menu. Once you are in the main print dialog
box, select Color Matching from the General pop-up menu.
3 You will be presented with three pop-up menus once you are in the Color
Matching section. Listed below are the three menus.
Print Color
Intent
Printer Profile
4 You will need to change the Print Color: pop-up menu from Color/Grayscale
to ColorSync Color Matching. If this selection is not made, you will not acti-
vate ColorSync, even though the software is installed on your Macintosh.
5 You will have multiple choices for the Intent: pop-up menu. If you are
unsure of what to choose, leave this at the default setting, Auto Selection
or refer back to the ColorSync documentation that was included with your
Macintosh.
6 In the Printer Profile: pop-up menu, you will need to select magicolor 2+
from the list of printers. If you do not see the
magicolor 2+ listed, then you
do not have the ICC profiles installed correctly. With System 8.1, the ICC
profiles are stored in the System Folder inside a folder titled, “ColorSync
Profiles.”
7 As stated at the beginning of this section, only one color management sys-
tem can be active at a time. Access Printer Specific from the General pop-up
menu in the print dialog box. Set ICC RGB Source to None, and set ICC Sim-
ulation to None.
QMS recommends using ColorSync since most of the popular graphics applications
on the market today support this method of color matching, and ColorSync is recog-
nized as the standard for color matching on Macintosh computers.

In addition to ColorSync, the
magicolor 2+ supports ICC color matching that is built
into and performed on the printer. Printer resident matching is faster than host-based
color matching (ColorSync) since the calculations for color matching take place on the
printer and not the Macintosh.
