Chapter 5: Principle of Operation

This section explains how the Windows BLL Generator and WinRascol work together to produce film
output.

Introduction

WinRascol consists of two software components:

•

WinRascol32: The queue and print manager. It queues print jobs and sends them to the film

recorder. WinRascol32 is the same program on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT.

•

WinRascol Printer Driver, or Windows BLL Generator: The printer driver is used when you

invoke the Print command from within a Windows application. Due to architectural differences
between Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, there need to be separate printer drivers for each
type of operating system.

There are several different ways to use WinRascol:

•

The user on a PC with a film recorder attached can print by:

•

Printing directly from an application with the WinRascol Printer Driver, or

•

Adding image files directly to the queue with WinRascol32.

•

The user on a PC without a film recorder can:

•

Print from an application with the Windows BLL Generator to make BLL files, or

•

Save images in one of the formats that WinRascol supports directly.
