Ricoh AP 306D [73/77] Setting up printer properties

Printing Guideline for Ricoh Color Products 2.01

13.2 Setting Up Printer Properties

Because the layout of the printer driver interface varies according to the operating

system being used, only a general explanation can be given here.

• Choose print and select your printer.

• Select properties or printer speciÞ c options (Macintosh)

• Look for Print Features or Expert Color Settings where RGB Source ProÞ le,

Rendering Style, RGB Separation, CMYK Simulation ProÞ le, Simulation

Method, Output ProÞ le can be found.

• For RGB Source ProÞ le, choose the proÞ le which matches the colorspace

of your RGB images (e.g. sRGB or the scanner proÞ le) If the RGB images

contain embedded proÞ les which you wish to keep, set the RGB Source

ProÞ le to None. Choosing any other option would cause the embedded

proÞ les not to be applied.

Note: ProÞ les embedded in EPS Þ les will always be applied no matter what RGB

source proÞ le is chosen.

• For Rendering Style choose a rendering style.

• For RGB Separation choose Simulation if you want the copier to simulate

another printing device, e.g. a printing press, or choose Output if you want to

print without a CMYK simulation.

• For CMYK Simulation ProÞ le choose a Simulation ProÞ le or choose None if

you don´t want the copier to simulate another printing device.

• For CMYK Simulation Method choose Full. It only has an effect if you have

chosen a simulation proÞ le.

• For Output ProÞ le choose the name you have given to your printer proÞ le

when you downloaded it to the controller (see chapter 2).

Note: If your document contains several RGB images with different source proÞ les

and different rendering styles, separate them to CMYK data in a pixel-editing

application like Photoshop by using its color management system. Save it as

EPS format and import the EPS Þ les into your document.
