Color Swatch Utility ________________
General Information
The Color Swatch Utility allows you to 
•print color samples (swatches) on your color printer.               
•create custom color swatches           
The swatches are used with your software program to select and 
reproduce color accurately. 
The swatches represent selected samples of the printers color 
palette. Use the swatches to find the desired colors for your printed 
documents.
  
NOTE
• The Swatch Utility does not guarantee that the 
printer prints the same color as displayed on your 
monitor. Consider the displayed color as a 
reference.
• The printer may not be able to print the exact color 
that you desire.
• Your software may not be able to match colors 
using the swatch information. You may need to use 
other matching methods.
• The color swatch samples do not show all the 
colors your printer can print.
• Other factors influence how you see color: the 
color and finish of the paper, ambient light, even 
the color surrounding the one you are looking at.
