Selecting options when printing
There are few differences among office applications with regard to Color Server printing. To
specify print options and color management settings, follow the instructions in

To specify these options, you must use a PostScript Level 2 (or later) printer driver, such as an
Adobe PostScript Printer Driver.

Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file
Take the following steps to ensure color accuracy:
• When saving EPS files, do not include PostScript Color Management information. This
minimizes the risk of conflicting data and multiple color conversions. PostScript Color
Management causes your CMYK and RGB colors to be interpreted by the Color Server as
though they were supplied in the Lab color space and, as a result, processed by CRDs,
rather than your simulation settings.

rather than your simulation settings.
• Include ICC color information in files. ColorWise does not conflict with this information,
and such data is useful for identifying the specific color space used by your files.
• Do not include halftone and transfer functions.
• Turn off color management in the printer driver.
On Windows computers, if the printer driver offers Image Color Matching options, select

On Mac OS computers, set the printer driver to include no color management commands
