If you use AFP Resource Installer, it installs the generic tone transfer curve CMRs on your system automatically. CMR processing modes CMR processing modes tell the print system how to apply a CMR to the print data it is associated with. You specify a CMR processing mode whenever you specify a CMR, although not all modes are valid for all CMR types. Audit processing mode: CMRs with the audit processing mode refer to processing that has already been applied to a resource. In most cases, audit CMRs describe input data and are similar to ICC input profiles. The audit processing mode is used primarily with color conversion CMRs. In audit processing mode, those CMRs indicate which ICC profile must be applied to convert the data into the profile connection space (PCS). For example, to take a photograph with a digital camera and then include the photograph in an AFP print job, you can use AFP Resource Installer to: 1. Create a color conversion CMR by using the ICC profile of your camera. 2. Install your photograph in a resource library. 3. Associate the color conversion CMR with the data object, indicating the audit processing mode. Then, you create a print job that includes the data object. When processing the print job, the system uses the color conversion CMR to convert the colors in the image into the PCS. The colors can then be converted into the color space of the printer that is printing it. Instruction processing mode: CMRs with the instruction processing mode refer to processing that is done to prepare the resource for a specific printer that uses a certain paper or another device. Generally, instruction CMRs refer to output data and are similar to ICC output profiles. The instruction processing mode is used with color conversion, tone transfer curve, and halftone CMRs. In instruction processing mode, these CMRs indicate how the system must convert a resource so it prints correctly on the target printer. The manufacturer of your printer should provide ICC profiles or a variety of CMRs that you can use. Those ICC profiles and CMRs might be installed in the printer controller, included with the printer on a CD, or available for download from the manufacturer's Web site. If you send a color AFP print job to a printer that supports AFP Color Management, color conversion and tone transfer curve CMRs in instruction processing mode can be associated with the job. When the printer processes the print job, it applies the CMRs in this order: 1. Color conversion CMRs in audit processing mode to convert the resources into the ICC profile connection space (PCS). 2. Color conversion and tone transfer curve CMRs in instruction processing mode to convert the resources into the color space of the printer. 3. Halftone CMR in instruction processing mode to convert the job pages from their digital format into the pattern of dots that the printer can produce. 236 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures
