Getting Ready to Use Color Connector

The following steps describe how to get started with color connector.

NOTE:

The illustrations in this section show Windows dialog boxes. The
dialog boxes for Macintosh are similar and have identical
functionality.

1.

Install the software for color connector and the printing software
including the export module. The software is included on the CD that
came with your printer.

2.

Put any additional ICC Profiles in the folder containing your ICC
Profiles that were shipped with the printer. The default folder for the
ICC Profiles is:

•

for Windows systems, Windows\System\Color.

•

for Macintosh systems:

–

if you are using ColorSync

TM

2.1, System

Folder:Preferences:ColorSync

TM

Profiles.

–

if you are using ColorSync

TM

2.5, System Folder:ColorSync

Profiles.

NOTE:

Before you use color connector for the first time, you may wish to
complete the tutorial that is included on the CD.

3.

Start the color connector application.
