Color Profiles for MINOLTA-QMS magicolor Printers 
=====================================

INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ICM (Image Color Matching for Windows)/ 
ICC (International Color Consortium for Macintosh)-compliant profiles for 
your printer are provided on the Software Utilities CD-ROM or available 
from the Internet at www.minolta-qms.com. Both host and simulation profiles 
are provided for your printer.

Host profiles are copied to your workstation and work with
application-specific color matching systems, such as that in 
CorelDRAW 10. Host profiles can also be used by ICM 1.0 (Windows 95) and 
ICM 2.0 (Windows XP/Me/2000/98).

Simulation profiles are downloaded to the printer's hard disk and allow
the printer to convert color data received. To use simulation profiles your printer 
must have an installed hard disk. 

This readme file explains how to download host and simulation profiles. 
Consult your printer and application documentation for more information about
color profiles.

HOST PROFILE INSTALLATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows
 1 Using Windows Explorer, open the directory containing the host profiles.

 2 Copy the profile file(s) that you need  to one of the following directories on your PC:
    -- (Windows 9x, Me)      Windows\System\Color
    -- *(Windows NT4)         y\System32\Color
    -- *(Windows 2000, XP)  y\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color 
    * where y is "Windows" or "Winnt" depending on your PC's directory naming.

Macintosh
  1. Open the folder containing the host profiles.

  2. Copy the icc files to one of the following folders, depending on the
      MacOS/ColorSync version installed.
      --System Folder/Preferences/ColorSync Profiles
      --System Folder/ColorSync Profiles


Host Profile Usage
-----------
Windows and Macintosh
  Some applications, like Microsoft Publisher, automatically install
  host profiles. Others, like CorelDRAW 10, do not. If your application
  doesn't install profiles automatically, refer to the application
  documentation to install the profile.


SIMULATION PROFILE INSTALLATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows and Macintosh
  Use the MINOLTA-QMS Download Manager to download simulation profiles 
  to your printer's hard disk. See your printer documentation and the 
  Download Manager online help for more information.

NOTE: Visit our website to check on the availability of the MINOLTA-QMS 
           Download Manager for the Macintosh Operating System. Go to 
           www.minolta-qms.com/support/index.html and select magicolor 7300 from 
           the Color Printers list. The support page for the magicolor 7300 opens.
           From this page you can download printer drivers, PPDs, color profiles,
           documentation, and printer utilities such as the MINOLTA-QMS 
           Download Manager for Macintosh.

Simulation Profile Usage
-----------
Windows
  You can use PageScope Light or properties of the MINOLTA-QMS PostScript 
  printer driver to identify the simulation profile that the printer uses. See 
  your printer documentation or the printer driver's online help for more information.

Macintosh
  Before downloading the files to the printer, renaming the profile filenames to 
  custsim1.icc, custsim2.icc, and custsim3.icc allows you to choose
  Custom 1, Custom 2, or Custom 3 as the Simulation setting from the PPD.
