When you select the source profile and output profile settings associated with a device link profile, the Fiery server bypasses its normal color management and applies the device link conversion to the color data in the job. The source profile and the output profile are not used.

Profiles that do not reside on the Fiery server do not appear as settings. A device link profile that is not associated with a source profile setting and an output profile setting cannot be selected for a job. Therefore, even though the source profile and output profile that are associated with a device link profile are not used to calculate color conversions, they must reside on the Fiery server.

Device link profiles are disabled when any of the Color input settings shown in the following table have been enabled or specified:

RGB-CMYK device link	CMYK-CMYK device link
Use RGB embedded profiles	Use CMYK embedded profiles
RGB rendering intent	CMYK rendering intent
Print RGB gray using black only	Print CMYK gray using black only
	Black point compensation
