Color Matching Overview NOTE Most applications allow the printer properties to be accessed from within the document print dialog box. Application settings override driver settings. Driver settings override printer menu settings. Color reproduction is a complex topic. This topic is divided into two sections: • background information The background information explains the factors that affect color matching. See page 164. • how-to information The how-to information explains how to perform color matching with your printer. See page 180. C5500n User's Guide Color Matching • 163
