==== Change the Coloring Settings ====

* To change the coloring settings, click on the “Printer...” button.



* In the small menu list, you can go to the '''Coloring''' settings. Here you can choose different effects. If you need to print a photograph or an illustration, check the '''Photo''' setting. For type, it is often recommended to select '''Line'''. In addition, you can play with other printing effects called '''Grain Touch''' or '''Screen Covered''' (see the final effect on the '''RISO Color Overview''' sheet above the printer for reference). 

''There is no need to change the colour of the ink through this window, it will automatically recognize it later while making a master''

==== Output the file on the RISO printer ====

After having sent the file to the printer, there are still a few steps you have to take beofre having your first master print.

* When sending a master, the RISO printer will receive data from the computer. You can check it on the RISO printer display by clicking the '''Data-Map''' button.
