Troubleshooting 188 By examining Color Samples sets, you can identify the box whose color is the closest to the color you want. The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software program. For more information, see the help information of your operating system. Note: Manual color correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular object. Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color‑matching problem depends on the Color Correction setting being used , the type of object being printed, and how the color of the object is specified in the software program. When Color Correction is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information, and no color conversion is implemented. Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist in which the software program or the computer operating system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management. The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages. What are detailed color samples and how do I access them?

By examining Color Samples sets, you can identify the box whose color is the closest to the color you want.
The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software
program. For more information, see the help information of your operating system.
Note:
Manual color correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the
particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color
matching problem depends on the Color
Correction setting being used , the type of object being printed, and how the color of the object is specified
in the software program. When Color Correction is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information,
and no color conversion is implemented.
Note:
The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or
CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist in which the software program or the computer
operating system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color
management. The resulting printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
What are detailed color samples and how do I access them?
Detailed color samples sets are available only through the Embedded Web Server of a network printer. A
detailed Color Samples set contains a range of shades that are similar to a user
defined RGB or CMYK value.
The likeness of the colors in the set is dependent on the value entered in the RGB or CMYK Increment box.
To access a detailed Color Samples set from the Embedded Web Server, do the following:
1
Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Note:
If you do not know the IP address or printer name, then you can:
View the information on the printer home screen, or in the TCP/IP section in the Networks/Ports menu.
Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the information in the TCP/IP
section.
