To select CIE options:

2. Click CIE Color. Select an option:
   • Apply Embedded Profiles (Recommended) instructs the printer to use the embedded profiles of the document at the risk of applying non-standard color schemes. Using embedded profiles can degrade print quality. In cases when the data is unusual, as with lab data, using the proprietary color schemes in the embedded profile provides the best print quality.

     An embedded profile is a Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD) included with the data sent from the application that describes the characteristics of the color data.

   • Do Not Apply Embedded Profiles prevents the printer from using the embedded profiles of a document, which reduces the risk of using non-standard color schemes.
3. Click OK.
