The CMYK profile can only be used with the PostScript driver; the sRGB profile can be used with any of the HP Color LaserJet 5500 drivers. The profiles are available on the HP Web site at the following URL: (http://www.hp.com/support/lj5500) ICC profiles describe the way color will be interpreted in the default CMYK and RGB modes.

2 Software Description
Software Technical Reference
This HP LaserJet product includes euro characters for each of the internal fonts. The
printer can print the euro character in the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems. Hewlett-Packard
is committed to maximizing document portability through supporting and promoting euro-
symbol standards.
International Color Consortium profiles
HP provides cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) (HP5500C.ICM) and sustained red-
green-blue (sRGB) (HP5500R.ICM) International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles with its
HP Color LaserJet 5500 printers. The CMYK profile can only be used with the PostScript
driver; the sRGB profile can be used with any of the HP Color LaserJet 5500 drivers. The
profiles are available on the HP Web site at the following URL:
ICC profiles describe the way color will be interpreted in the default CMYK and RGB
modes. The sRGB profile matches the default RGB mode (sRGB), which is enabled with
the Screen Match or Automatic Color Smart II setting in either the PCL or PostScript
driver. The CMYK profile is based on the default mode, which is a Specifications for Web
Offset Publications (SWOP) simulation with a CMYK Inkset setting of
FAST
in the
PostScript driver. These profiles can be used for color conversions in a color-managed
workflow.
PANTONE (R)* color profiles
Automatic PANTONE (R)* Calibration is the default setting for HP Color LaserJet printers.
This feature automatically converts PANTONE (R)* colors to optimal color values for the
printer by recognizing the PANTONE (R)* color name or number in the data stream sent
to the printer. The feature is activated when printing colors that were chosen using the
PANTONE (R)* Color picker in supported graphics applications.
Applications known to generate PostScript files with graphic objects preserving the
PANTONE (R)* name are listed below:
z
Adobe Illustrator
z
Adobe Photoshop (R)
z
Adobe PageMaker
z
Adobe InDesign
z
CorelDRAW (TM)
z
Macromedia Freehand
z
QuarkXPress
Some applications substitute CMYK values to the printer if they cannot provide
PANTONE (R)* names.
If your application does not pass the PANTONE (R)* names to
the printer, the application will substitute default CMYK values to be printed for each color.
In this case, the accuracy of color matching will depend on the ink emulation selected -
FAST, SWOP, Euro standard, or DIC (Dainippon).
If your application does not pass the
PANTONE (R)* names to the printer, the custom CMYK values created by PANTONE
(R)* for this printer are available in the manual PANTONE (R)* palettes.
