Operating the Monitor This monitor is Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer's graphic card is VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes. You may need to install the .INF file if these conditions are not met. The Image Color Matching File The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. The .ICM file contains a monitor color system profile. This file is activated from within graphics programs that support this feature. ✎ The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format specification. Installing the .INF and .ICM Files After you determine that you need to update, you can install the .INF and .ICM files from the CD or download them. Installing from the CD To install the .INF and .ICM files on the computer from the CD: 1. Insert the CD in the computer CD-ROM drive. The CD menu displays. 2. View the "INF and ICM Readme" file. 3. Select "Install INF and ICM Files." 4-8 User Guide
