Section 4 Windows Driver 4-4
2. 0 Function Details
2.1 Output Format
The KUWPD improves support for many Windows applications by providing dual output
printer language capabilities. Selecting the Output Format in “Printing Preferences” or
“Document Defaults” (NT4), before entering an application will select the proper output
method.
KIP GL Output Format
The first output format the KUWPD is capable of is KIP GL (HPGL2/HP-
RTL). CAD applications that may not have a compatible driver available can
utilize KIP GL and achieve improved quality. The KIP GL output can be
further enhanced by making changes to the Pen Table on the KIP Controller.
Features already in the Default Pen Table on the KIP Controller such as Line
Width Compensation and RTL Dither allow users to achieve improved quality
when using the KIP GL output format.
KIP Script Output Format
The user can choose KIP Script (Postscript output) when printing from
applications that function best when outputting Postscript data. For example;
Adobe Acrobat functions best when using Postscript output, especially on
images larger than E-size (Acrobat 6). Other graphics applications including
MS-Word, Powerpoint, and Excel also work very well with KIP Script
output. The KIP Script data can be smaller in file size and transmits quickly
over networks.
NOTE
The KIP PDF Powerscript 3 option is required for printing KIP Script data. Please contact
your local KIP dealer for details.
NOTE
When using the KIP GL output format, the Default.PEN - Pen Table at the KIP Controller
will also control some of the printing features. Features such as Vector Line Dither
Pattern, RTL Raster Dither, RTL Density, and Line Width Compensation are used
during conversion for printing. These settings must be configured PRIOR to opening the
KIP Unattend print queue.
NOTE
Certain applications work better depending on the Output Format.
- Applications using heavy raster or photographic data work best with KIP Script type
output. Examples: Adobe Acrobat products, Adobe Illustrator Products, Adobe
Photoshop Products and Corel Draw based products.
- Microsoft applications generally work well with either output format. Examples:
Microsoft Word, Excel, Project.
