Use Printer Setting
option and printed colors are not what you expected, check the following:

Printing
PANTONE Colors
If printer-specific PANTONE Colors are not printing as expected, make sure that you are printing without any color corrections selected. Refer to
PANTONE® Color Files
for more information.
There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by your printer, any one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE Color simulation, including:
-
Type of media used
-
Print quality mode selected
-
Effective final resolution
-
Dot structure/halftones
-
Density of the toner colors
Using the Xerox
halftone screens
Xerox halftone screens are designed for Xerox printers, and improve print quality over application-set halftone screens. The
Setscreen Off (SCRENOFF.PS)
utility file redefines some PostScript operators, such as the
setscreen,
setcolorscreen
and
sethalftone. When downloaded to the printer, this file prevents applications from overriding the Xerox proprietary halftone screens.
