PCL DRIVER

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.

The PCL driver’s colour options are only designed to work with RGB
data. If you are printing CMYK data, we recommend you use the
PostScript driver.

To open colour matching options from the Windows Control Panel:

Open the

Printers

window. Right-click the printer name and

choose

Properties

Select the

Colour

tab.

To open colour matching options from within a Windows application:

Choose

File—Print…

from the application’s menu bar.

Click the

Properties

button next to the printer name.
