Colour management settings and job submission

The way in which you submit a print job to the printer defines in most cases the file type of the document. If you use a printer driver, the original file type will be changed by the driver into a standard file type.

When there is no job ticket or when the job ticket does not include a colour management setting, the printer checks the file type of the document and based on the file type the printer applies the default colour management settings of Océ Express WebTools.

If you use FTP, LPR, Océ Publisher Select or Océ Publisher Express to send a job to the printer, the file type is not changed. The file is sent to the printer the way in which it was saved in the application you used to create or edit the file. If there is no embedded colour profile present in the document, the printer checks the file type of the document and based on the file type the printer applies the default colour management settings of Océ Express WebTools.

If you want to use the embedded colour profile for your print job (for example, embedded profile created with Adobe^® Illustrator) you can choose between 2 options. You can use the Océ Wide format Printer Driver 2 for Microsoft® Windows® where you can indicate to follow the colour settings managed by the application. You can also send the job via FTP, LPR, Océ Publisher Select (choose 'Document's colour feel') or Océ Publisher Express. If the controller can recognise the embedded colour profile, it will be applied. If the embedded colour profile cannot be recognised, the controller applies the default colour settings managed by Océ Express WebTools.
