Notes

To open Printers and Faxes, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
Color profiles communicate the color characteristics of a device to the color management system. Associating the correct color profile with all of your publishing tools helps to ensure consistent color application throughout the publishing process.
The Color Management tab is only visible for color printers that support color management.
For more information about a profile in the Add Profile Association dialog box, right-click the profile, and then click Properties.
Color profiles are usually installed in the systemroot\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color folder.
Windows provides a color profile named sRGB Color Space Profile.icm, which you can use with any device that supports Image Color Management 2.0.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
