4 Operating the Monitor
Software and Utilities
The CD that comes with the monitor contains files you can install on the computer:
●
an .INF (Information) file
●
an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file
●
auto-adjustment pattern utility
●
additional software for the monitor model
Adobe Reader is supplied on this CD and can be installed from the menu.
NOTE If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can be downloaded from
the HP monitors support Web site. See Downloading from the Worldwide Web in this chapter.
The Information File
The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure
monitor compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.
This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly
without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s
graphic card is VESA DDC2–compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card.
Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/
boxes.
The Image Color Matching File
The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide
consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen.
The .ICM file contains a monitor color system profile. This file is activated from within graphics
programs that support this feature.
NOTE The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium
(ICC) Profile Format specification.
