    							Printing a Color Document in Monochrome
    The procedure for printing a color document in monochrome is as follows:
    You can also set a grayscale printing in  Additional Features on the Quick Setup  tab.
    1.
    Open the printer driver setup window
    2.
    Set grayscale printing
    Check the  Grayscale Printing  check box on the Main tab.
    3.
    Complete the setup
    Click  OK.
    When you execute print, the document is converted to grayscale data. It allows you to print the color
    document in monochrome.
    Important
    •
    When the  Grayscale Printing  check box is checked, the printer driver processes image data as sRGB
    data. In this case, actual colors printed may differ from those in the original image data.
    When using the grayscale printing function to print Adobe RGB data, convert the data to sRGB data
    using an application software.
    314 
    						
    							Note•
    During Grayscale Printing , inks other than black ink may be used as well.315 
    						
    							Specifying Color CorrectionYou can specify the color correction method suited to the type of document to be printed.
    Normally, the printer driver adjusts the colors by using Canon Digital Photo Color so that data is printed with
    color tints that most people prefer. This method is suitable for printing sRGB data.
    When you want to print by using the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data effectively, select ICM  (ICC Profile Matching ). When you want to use an application software to specify a printing ICC profile,
    select  None.
    The procedure for specifying color correction is as follows:
    You can also set color correction on the  Quick Setup tab by choosing  Photo Printing under Commonly
    Used Settings , and then choosing  Color/Intensity Manual Adjustment  under Additional Features .1.
    Open the printer driver setup window
    2.
    Select the manual color adjustment
    On the  Main tab, select  Manual for Color/Intensity , and click Set....
    The Manual Color Adjustment  dialog box opens.
    3.
    Select color correction
    Click  Matching  tab, select  Color Correction  setting that matches your purpose from the following, and
    click  OK.

    							Driver MatchingWith Canon Digital Photo Color, you can print sRGB data with color tints that most people prefer.
    ICM (ICC Profile Matching) Adjusts the colors by using an ICC profile when printing.Specify the input profile to be used.
    None The printer driver does not perform color correction. Select this value when you are specifying an
    individually created printing ICC profile in an application software to print data.
    4.
    Complete the setup
    Click  OK on the  Main tab.
    When you execute print, the document data is printed with the specified color correction.
    Important
    •
    When ICM is disabled in the application software,  ICM is unavailable for  Color Correction and the
    printer may not be able to print the image data properly.
    •
    When the  Grayscale Printing  check box on the Main tab is checked,  Color Correction  appears
    grayed out and is unavailable.

    							Optimal Photo Printing of Image DataWhen people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differfrom those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor.
    To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method
    that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose.
    Color Management
    Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently. Color
    management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors" as a common color space.
    For Windows, a color management system called "ICM" is built into the operating system. Adobe RGB and sRGB are popularly used as common color spaces. Adobe RGB has a wider color space
    than sRGB.
    ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an ICC profile and carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the image data within the color
    reproduction area that the printer can express.
    Selecting a Printing Method Suited to the Image Data
    The recommended printing method depends on the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data
    or the application software to be used.
    There are two typical printing methods.
    Check the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used,
    and then select the printing method suited to your purpose.
    Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver Describes the procedure for printing sRGB data by using the color correction function of the printer
    driver.

    To print using Canon Digital Photo Color
    The printer prints data with color tints that most people prefer, reproducing colors of the original
    image data and producing three-dimensional effects and high, sharp contrasts.
    •
    To print by directly applying editing and touch-up results of an application software
    When printing the data, the printer brings out subtle color difference between dark and light
    areas, while leaving the darkest and lightest areas intact.
    When printing the data, the printer applies fine adjustment results, such as brightness
    adjustments made with an application software.
    Printing with ICC Profiles Describes the procedure for printing by using the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB effectively.
    You can print with a common color space by setting up the application software and the printer driver
    so that the color management matches the input ICC profile of the image data. The method for setting up the printer driver differs depending on the application software to be used.

    							Adjusting Colors with the Printer DriverYou can specify the color correction function of the printer driver to print sRGB data with color tints that mostpeople prefer through the use of Canon Digital Photo Color.
    When printing from an application software that can identify ICC profiles and allows you to specify them, use
    a printing ICC profile in the application software, and select settings for color management.
    The procedure for adjusting colors with the printer driver is as follows:1.
    Open the printer driver setup window
    2.
    Select the manual color adjustment On the  Main tab, select  Manual for Color/Intensity , and click Set....
