Blue Blue A color printer, however, does not use the 3 primary colors of light, but uses the same 3 primary colors as used in paintings to reproduce colors. If the 3 primary colors of paint, C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow) are mixed together, the resulting color is black (subtractive color mixing).
Creating colors for painting involves mixing the colors on a palette to get a match. In a computer display and printer, it is not possible to mix colors to match in the same way as paints, so colors are reproduced by groups of colored dots.
In the case of a printer, it is not possible to change the intensity of toner colors. Because of this, a much larger number of dots are used compared to a computer display, and various colors are reproduced by adding K (black) to the C (cyan), M (magenta) and Y (yellow).
If the color in the print are not as expected, or the image quality is low, or the printout takes a long time, the printer performance is halved. By making minor adjustments and taking a little bit of care, we can make sure we get 100% out of the printer.
It doesn't matter how high the resolution of printing data is, you cannot get better picture quality than the resolution of the printer. A resolution of 600 dpi at printer sizes is sufficient. If the resolution of print data is too high, print processing will take a large amount of time, and the data size will also grow.
The supplied CD-ROM includes the "NetSpot Device Installer", which is a utility that can initialize the settings of a printer connected to the network. The NetSpot Device Installer allows you to easily initialize the settings of printers connected to the network.
NetSpot Console allows you to view a list of printers, display a printer map, modify detailed protocol settings, monitor printer states, perform job operations, and configure and view a variety of printer information using a web browser.
