KIP Print Pro User Guide
1 Introduction
Designed for Windows PC’s, KIP Print Pro is an intuitive system management and job submission application for
the complete range of KIP color and B&W systems.
Print Job Submission – KIP Print Pro is an interactive job building application used to create and manage print
jobs from the most common color and b&w wide format digital files including Postscript
Calcomp, and HPGL 1/2/RTL (and more). Configure single and multipage PDF files with individual scaling
preferences, stamps, folding presets, color management controls and print stacking location. Customize the
Quick Access Tool bar with your favorite features or use Auto Hide, Float, and Dock to maximize efficiency in
the Job Build Matrix. Operators can monitor print progress from start to finish with detailed device status and
queue management. Integrated Job Accounting and Data Tracking provide user and project activity reports
for both color and b&w printing from the KIP Cost Center application.
®, PDF, TIF, JPG,
System Management – KIP Print Pro allows administrators to create and enable User and System Presets for
scaling, stamps, page sizes and print quality. When Job Notifications are enabled, administrators and job
owners are notified as jobs are completed or if intervention is required. Total Print Queue management controls
permit adjustments to the print order or to add new files and settings to existing print jobs.

There are many ways the user can configure the KIP Print Pro screen to suit their needs. The main screen consists
of Panes and Tabs. The Panes are the individual visible sections of the user interface (in RED) and the tabs are
the individual minimized sections of the user interface (in BLUE). However with customization the Panes can
become Tabs and the Tabs can become Panes.
Depending on how often a Tab or Pane is used, it can be hidden or displayed. The next section will explain how
these Panes and Tabs can be used.
