For Mac OS X Users<br />
Mac OS X combines the solidity of UNIX® with the convenience of the traditional<br />
Mac operating system. OS X is suitable <strong>for</strong> all types of users since it is easy to<br />
upgrade, provides an Office-like environment with the benefits of the Macintosh,<br />
<strong>and</strong> has the power of the UNIX BSD kernel.<br />
The advantages of Mac OS X (in comparison with Mac OS 9) include:<br />
• Memory protection that makes applications less likely to fail<br />
• Pre-emptive multi-tasking that enables multiple applications to run<br />
simultaneously without one application blocking the others<br />
• The AQUA interface which provides a new <strong>and</strong> different user experience<br />
• Support <strong>for</strong> different user permission levels<br />
It is useful to know where the following items are located on your system:<br />
• ICC Profiles: Mac OS X hard drive>Library>Color Sync>Profiles<br />
• Application Preferences: Mac OS X hard drive>Users>(current user folder)<br />
>Library>Preferences<br />
• <strong>EverSmart</strong> DB Preferences: Mac OS X hard drive>Library>Preferences<br />

Appendix A—Moire Reduction Filter <strong>for</strong> CopyDot Scans<br />
Moire effect sometimes occurs in copydot scans. The <strong>oXYgen</strong> DOT application<br />
now includes three levels of moiré filters that can be applied to reduce moiré effects.<br />
To reduce moiré effect:<br />
• In the Setup dialog box, in Moire Filter, select a filter level according to the<br />
following table of typical occurrences of the moiré effect:<br />
Original<br />
Screen Ruling<br />
Original<br />
Screen Angle<br />
Original Areas<br />
with<br />
Dot Percentages<br />
Moire Filter<br />
Level<br />
60 LPI to 150 LPI Traditional 0% to 100% None (default)<br />
60 LPI to 150 LPI 0º <strong>and</strong> 45º 40% to 100% Medium<br />
150 LPI to 200 LPI Traditional 0% to 50% Medium / High<br />
150 LPI to 200 LPI 0º <strong>and</strong> 45º 30% to 200% High<br />
Notes:<br />
The moiré effect may also occur when you use other screen angles or resolutions that are<br />
not included in the above table. In such cases, use the Moire Filter.<br />
The Moire Filter can be set <strong>for</strong> individual separations. For example, in a<br />
4-separation job you can scan each separation using a different Moire Filter level.
